Following a recent problem of '96 2Litre Vectra deciding to miss-fire
occasionally resulting in a great cloud of smoke (white to oilly blue),
..The occassional miss eventually ended up constant with noticable loss
of coolant although no apparent signs in the oil. The car has had head
removed, gasket looked fine.
Head was skimmed and replaced, compression ok, still misses and blows
clouds of smoke, albeit , intermittently. Next train of thought is to
question if a cylinder may be hairline cracked.I have since read
other's similar SMOKEY problems but alass i can find no conclusion
to them.
I am reluctant to throw much more money at it, just to progress through
a process of elimination.
I Would appreciate any helpful comments.
