HI ALL GOT A PROBLEM WITH MY SCOOB THERE LIGHT BLUE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE DUMP VALVE AN IF YOU TAKE OFF THE OIL FILLER CAP IT COME OUT OF THERE 2, SEEMS TO BOOST FINE BUT BLOWS A BIT OF BLUE SMOKE OUT THE EXHAUST, THE ENGINE SEEMS TO RUN OK JUST SEEMS A LITTLE BIT SLOPPY WHEN FIRST START IT IN THE MORNING FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS BUT ITS OK ALL DAY AFTER THAT HAS ANYONE GOT ANY IDEAS I WAS THINGING PISTON RINGS HAVE GONE?

 

sounds like you you a bit ov back pressure thats when compression goes past the rings causing pressure in the crank case . cure would be bottom end rebuild

 

thanks mate

 

Blue smoke = oil burning, chances are as said, would be a rebuild, minimum would be the engine out and looking at, cost of a rebuild is around 2.5-3k, you could buy a recon/second hand engine but you would be throwing your money down the drain when it blows up 1k miles down the road.
