Now a head gasket

Hi Craig, are you sure what you are seeing isn’t just the exhaust drying out as it warms up? Surely you would see something coming out of the exhaust if the problem was in the gas stream? I hope it is just the exhaust drying out you have endured enough pain already.

Cheers Marty

Possibly, hoping something like that. Will check out when home again. Would have thought if something serious would be out the exhaust itself.
Sort of hoping while trying to do a restart a gut full of raw full may have gone out the exhaust port and just that burning off.

Nothing like smoke after a rebuild to fright you up: Possibly just oily fingerprints etc?

Finally some good news. Head seems to have settled now and no issues. Was a little smoke for a bit, possibly valves just seating. Have now done around 500kms with no issue. No oil leaks at this stage either.
Always something small though, indicators not working this morning so another minor task to track down.
