hi everyone,
i bought a pajero 94 lwb with 180k, and just now after 3 months it started smoking, blue smoke coming when idle. consumption of oil is 1lt/1tank. what do you recomend ? does this mean I ve to replace the valve seals ? can i put some of those products that say that can reduce smoke, like a liquid. how long/much would it take to repair this prob ? any help would be good !
cheers,

Valve stem seals. I had mine done a couple of years ago, I think I posted the cost up on here, the car was at the mechanics for the day.

Just wondering what Nulon product is good for quietening tappets ( or the one that Frank was refering to in the above link). I had a look and there are three types. Worn engine, performance engine and noisy lifter .
Cheers

that would be the noisy lifter one, pajeros have lifters
