 I have an EB wagon .Been havin heaps of dramas with it blowin white smoke on startup,an I mean heaps.Have done valve stem seals,lifters,master cylinder,plugs leads,engine flush,different oil,PCV valve,just about everythin but change tha seat covers ta try an fix it.And now tha gearbox seems ta be playin up,power-economy only seems ta work when it feels like and now my speedo seems to cut on an off after i've drivin for about 10-20 ks.Tha smoke stops after its been idlin for about half an hour..........ANY IDEAS ?or should I just blow it up.....Have been thinkin about maybe stickin an AU in it

my sister had the same problem 3 months ago at first it was only 5 minutes slowly worked up to 10 minutes ans so on you would think that every ring in it was shot after it cleared it was like a different engine. i did all the same s**t even replaced the head, i was just about to replace the motor but i wasnt going with the idea that the bottom end was gone it didnt sit right so as a last resor i ran a engine flush replaced the oil and filter and it hasnt blown a drop of smoke since.

mate stick a bottle of engine flush down it and give it a oil and filter change. it will fix it either that or blow it up but if you do make sure its on video so we can all see
