piston rings???

[jeffthemaestro]

jeff is smoking more than me at the moment..I`m going thru loads of oil, loads of smoke..any ideas? Loads of smoke coming out of the breather..I`m guessing the rings have had it and compresion is forcing its way past it/them....The head was replaced with a second hand one a few months ago(skimmed and new stem seals) and i`m just wondering if i`ve done something wrong..as far as i can remember it was as bad as this before and the bores didnt look that bad (no lip on the top of the bores):banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

what is jeff exactly?

petrol or deisel and what engine?

[Oli]

By the looks of his profile ,tis a diesel.

[MaestroTurbo]

It's probably just blocked breathers.

sorry 2 litre diesel, i`ve disconnected the tube that feeds warm oil ridden smokey stuff into the intake(from the oil filler tube) and loads of oil vapour comes out of there. so i`m guessing rings......if so any one know where i can get some from?
