Excessive play when hot, lots of oil, and generally sounding like sh*t are bad signs.Is the topside of the throttle plate clean? Underside is usually fairly oily if it hasn't been cleaned recently due to the crap sucked in by the pcv circuit under vacuum. By topside I mean the side you can see in the closed position when its bloted to the intake manifold.If your convinced its rings, compression test asap. Then we can guess some more if its not.

Oil in the cylinder will help sad rings and generally improve compression 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91263-ba-xr6t-2004-mk11/page/2/#findComment-1565526 Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozenxr6t Member 140 Member For: 10y 7m 29d Posted 19/10/15 08:27 AM Author Share Posted 19/10/15 08:27 AM Haha barnz. I've booked in for leak down test next week. Mechanic over the phone reckons it'll be valve stem seals. Wouldn't that be good if it is. It would seem weird for the engine to just go sh*t over night when I was even smashing the right pedal much at all. Who knows hey Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91263-ba-xr6t-2004-mk11/page/2/#findComment-1565537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozenxr6t Member 140 Member For: 10y 7m 29d Posted 19/10/15 09:42 AM Author Share Posted 19/10/15 09:42 AM Exact symptoms are as follows,Start up from cold bugger smoke but slight misty whitish smokeQuick rev little blue smoke but then clears offLet idle and whitish oil burning smell from exhaustTake off little blue smoke and then nothing whilst driving around town or highway and on it hard nothing at all eitherReturn to idle for stop lights etc and it comes back at idle and take then gone again.. My guess is stem seals. Mechanic reckons that to.

Currently got some gaskets to replace and then go in for leak down test.
