Post by pro093 »

have a 80 series 4.5 petrol the engine was replaced 65,000 k's ago
but when we leave it idle for few minutes then rev it it blows shit load

Definately sounds like valve stem seals, they've either gone hard or weren't replaced.

Yep valve stem seals.
They have gone in my 80 too and I have no intention of getting them fixed any time soon.

Just check that the PCV valve is ok, as this was a problem sucking oil fumes through....also, if you have valve saver and gas, thats another reason...
