Engine Flush sealant or anything

13th October 2011, 22:09

Alright lads, basically my car has burned about 6-7L's of oil in about 1500-2000 miles theres no oil on the floor after ive moved, no blue smoke, just wondering if anyone has some thoughts on this?

Also is there anything i could use to give the engine a good clean inside like
my dad has suggested BG 44K.

Also the car seems to be running rich, just fitted new spark plugs, others had white sut type stuff on them and my exhaust tip does get black.

cars a 1.1

Cheers lads

Its going somewhere, if its not an external leak its internal. Most likely culprits are piston rings and valve stem seals, the latter more probable. Wouldnt bother with that engine cleaning stuff - it can dislodge carbon deposits and sludge potentially blocking oil ways. WHat i'd do is take the sump off and clean it out making sure the oil pickup isnt blocked. Just stick some cheapo oil it in for a bit, drop it out then run the it on some good quality stuff after. Obviously change the filter each time too.
Also it sounds like its running rich too from what you say about the exhaust

Cheers mate, will give it a blast next week, not massively fussed but dont want the engine to die on me becuase i wanna get rid soon.

I've heard Wynns is decent stuff, think that will help anyway at all?
