rustprooflandyracer:
Basically I have had a new 'recon turner' engine, new injectors, yet it smokes like any thing on ideal, which is funny at traffic lights with low open top sports cars, however the MOT man doesn't like it.

Do we have any ideas to why it smokes so much, is it possible for the servo to take to much air, reducing the amount to be burnt?, or do i have weak injectors? or is the pump nackered...??

By the way it is blue smoke, with a hint of white, however when you rev it, there seems to be a build up of black smoke which rushes out.

Doesn't sound to good  :!:

Andy the Landy:
Could the blue smoke be down to valve stem oil seals. How long has engine stood as a recon unit before being fitted to the vehicle as the oil seals go hard after time.

rustprooflandyracer:
The engine went straight away back into the land rover, literally 3 days after collecting it, I cant see the problem coming from the actual block, it has got to be something to do with the auxillaries

Andy the Landy:
:-k  Could the DPA pump timing be slightly out :-k  or a faulty injector for the black smoke. Check the valve clearances for the blue smoke

iianorthants:
was the pump attached when you got recon engine ? as very unlikely that turners would supply faulty stuff, they double check everything.
 on my old oil burner, I took the injectors down the local diesel injection specialist and just asked if they needed cleaning and sorting ..... they ran then through the test machine free of charge.
 If you fitted pump your self might be worth getting checked at a professional diesel place, as the pump adjustments are very hard to set at home 100%
