Blue Smoke and Tick.
Hay Gang.
As ppl have read I threw the timing belt on the GQ causing significant head damage.
So I have put the head back on post recon. The old girl starts and runs well. However I have noticed it is now blowing some blue smoke when cold (I know this means oil is being burt) Second to the smoke its making a ticking sound once up to speed, the sound comes and goes, but can easily be heard inside the cab.
Does anyone know what is causing these issues?
Cheers

Think I may have used to lighter oil, reading gregorys manual says should use 20W - 40. I used a 15W - 40, will this contribute to these issues?

Could be a zillion different things i run a 15w 40 in my rd28 never had any smoke issues.
After doing a head i would normally do an oil flush dump and filter change again after a few k's just incase any crud got into the sump.
The tick could also be a lifter not pumping up .

Think it sorted, did engine flush and oil change, also did fuel filter change, issue seems to be on improve, tick minimised and smoke reduced significantly. Will give it 500 - 1000k's and see where it at.
