Kimmie Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hello, I've just bought a Lupo and when I got it home it was blowing oil smoke out of the exhaust after tick over. I think it's had it, I think I've been done. I've been on the internet and been quoted £895 for a rebuilt engine. I don't mind paying this because I do really want this car and I don't seem to have any options but to buy another engine.Is this price reasonable? Anyone got any suggestions whats wrong with the original engine? Many thanksKimmie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupoluke Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I really dont know what rebuilt engines go for but it could be your rings or valve stem seals me thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pais340 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Well Kimmie,I'm almost certain that the Valve guides are worm.If you good with engines, all you do is remove the head and send it to engineering.They replace the guides and any valves that got worn as well.Otherwise a replacement is your best option.If it smokes alot dont bother about stem seal, that means the problem is well past that stage.But you should not desregard the rings either.But this occurs cause drivers over rev this engine when cold.Hope this helpsTony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
