    I think that pretty much covers it. Do you have a donor car? I can't remember if sub frame is the same or not, but I think it is Club Chairman

    Was it the seals? If so, yes it's common as they go hard over time as leaks oil. Club Chairman

    173k will be getting tired engine wise! So budget for that, speaking personally corrados need a lot if work to make them reliable! Mines having a new engine built at the moment, but as said, it's investment for the future. Club Chairman

    If your head is off and your getting smoke on startup then valve guides / seals. Recommend arp head bolts and water pump. Club Chairman

    Indeed, you can bridge the wires on the yellow sensor to see if that's the fault or not. Club Chairman

    They are pretty shot! But I'm aware it's not good practice to be running the wrong filter. Club Chairman

    I can guarantee if your engine has done over 80k your exhaust valve guides will need replacing. Your best off doing valve guides and seals, headgasket and skim. Job done. Talking about 500 quid for a head overhaul and will fix around 75% of oil consumption / blue smoke issues. Club Chairman

    Still no Corrado Club Chairman

    Do it properly, do it once moral of the story is get it skimmed Club Chairman

    Sounds like you need whip head off and check. If it's running really rich you could have washed your bores and scored them, could also explain metallic fragments, I can't imagine that they would be off your cams though I'm afraid! Have you done a compression test or leak down test? Club Chairman

    I ran my low compression vr6 for months but wrote it off before boosting it! It was running a healthy 221bhp and was amazing to drive. Club Chairman

    Wow dude! This is starting to look amazing. Some good skills ! How long do you think before you get to start her up? Club Chairman

    Careful, I've heard he'd be up your chimney quicker than you can say sweep Club Chairman

    Yeah as above, the later heads had some slight improvements for oil flow for chains but doesn't really offer any improvements but fully inter changeable, I've just had a new head built for my new block and have had the cover skimmed to match. As long as to swap cam sprockets etc.. Shouldn't matter if single or double top chain Club Chairman

    Quite common to leak there to be honest.... Did you torque up the head bolts in the right order / sequence? Another thought is that the head could be warped if it's over heated (worst case scenario but always advisable to give)it a sk Club Chairman
