If you hadn't put the speedo at 160 it might just have been believable.

Well i've done it again....
I'm cursed...
Driving to see Kirsty the engine decides it doesn't like the lovely fresh oil I put in that morning and decides to burn it off filling the cabin with oil smoke...
So end result is one broken car (yet to find out what's wrong) could be either the turbo or a seal somewhere or if i'm really lucky both and a car absoulutely covered in oil!
And a nice trip on an A-frame home.

WTF?? How much oil did you put in there Jamie??? You may have over filled it, that has happened to someone i know before, what oil did you use??? Does the car start? turnover? or is it dead? When i blew my head gasket and turbo seals i had oil shoot through the exhaust and cover my entire rear windscreen. I think its the turbo/seals and possibly over filling the oil maybe. Let us know mate. Good luck in getting it sorted.

Hey,
the oil was filled half way between mina nd max and I took the bottle with me in case I neede to top it up.. oil was Castrol RS10W60 as recommended by Aaron (J333EVO)
The car still runs I even managed to park it up.. although it has oil smoke from the zorst as well as from the dump valve and the Dipstick hole.. although it does not run properly as you can imagine...

It was all on te car when I bought it so not sure to be honest mate... pretty sure there's no reciept for it either but will have a look for you....
*UPDATE*
Well did a compression test last night....
No compression at all in Cylinder 1 even with a wet test and all other cylinders fine...
So worst case scenario piston has gone maybe the ring has scored the block as well... so more likely than not a replacement engine will be going in this weekend!
Will whip the head of tonight to see the total extent of the damage....

Not heard that from a guy in a while!
What's that all about?
Good excuse for an engine rebuild to a decent spec now!
I generally don't like seeing oil draining out of bonnets like that, though if you can see it as a silver lining then great!
Though it does worry me you haven't heard it from a bloke "for a while"
