hmmm it doesnt seem to be using much oil,however the oil smells heavily of fuel which has got me really concerened,On the 4 hour ride home yeaturday i couldn't get it to blow anymore blue smoke,well not enough to be visually seen from the rear view mirror,tonight i hope to have someone follow an observe.
How quickly does your 104's oil get dirty?,my old honda used to take at least 5000km's before there was any noticable colour change in the oil,with the merc it seems to be less than 1000 and its very apparnant.
I have plenty of crank case ventilation,3 pipes to be exact,we even tested pressure on the dyno upto redline and bearly got a reading.
Interesting you mentioned the locating of the rods,when i assmembled it last time i thought the play in the piston to rod was alittle excessive,but because they are stock pistons and rods i thought there couldnt be an issue,surely??...
The only thing we didnt do when i had the engine appart last time was to use a torque plate for honing,I didnt use one because i couldnt find any information which said this engine required it...
I might search for a quality leak down tester(mine was a bit cheap and i drilled out the restrictor)and do another check.
