Before you start wasting money on trying things, just start to rip it apart slowly and find out what's gone wrong.
Valve stem seals tend to not leak seriously unless they were bad to begin with...
That's true ruan, before i do that though, i am going to change the oil in case the stuff i put in it has made the oil very watery, Its been in a few months, plus it been laid up too, i will change the oil and shove some decide stuff through it, and get some miles on it, when i started to run the car before i changed jobs, it was starting to ease a bit and practically stopped smoking on start up too.
Before i pull it to bits, i will have to do some research on what head gasket to get for it, as there are a few ones kicking about for this engine, that's from lotus them selves. I will have to buy the proper tooling too, for the head.
We have only did 9k since i got the running gear, Remember we started off in 2010.
