The car is unregistered at the moment so I haven't been able to take it for a good drive to clear out all the old oil that might still be still sitting around the valves, its only a second car so I might just put super thick oil in it if its still blowing smoke after I get it registered.

    I had 330,000 on my TF with its original motor and it would consume a little oil over time. I had nothing to lose as the car was a great cheap test bed and simply tried some Stop Leak from whynns in it and it worked really well.

    I also use HPR-10 with an oil flush as mentioned above and this pretty much solved the issue.

    Hi Mike, thanks for the reply, I did flush the motor and used HPR10, I think the car has been a bit neglected, I will have to try the Wynns stop leak , cheers Dean
