Hi Guys...
I need help with my Astina '97 model please. 180se
I recently rebuild my engine, head skimmed, new head gasket, valve stem seals replaced with Victor Reinz seals and replaced all piston rings (Hastings).
Timing spot on but the car pings like hell, tried retarding, advancing etc nothing helped so i decided to remove the head for inspection and found out that all four pistons had burnt oil on them. Some guys says that only original valve stem seals to be used I checked no blue,white or black smoke from tailpipe. The car idles erratically with a slight misfire as well and it has a loud tapping noise. it sounds almost like there's no oil...
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards
