Dirty diesel

**SMOKEU** · 11th January 2011, 16:38

I've got an old diesel which is burning oil and blowing a fair bit of white smoke, is it worth putting thicker oil in it or adding some stop smoke to the oil? I don't have enough money for a replacement engine at the moment. It's got 15W40 diesel oil in it at the moment.

Is it a turbo?

Is it a turbo? If it is then white smoke sounds like turbo seals rather than the engine, my old saab completely blotted out the road behind it when the turbo went

Burn the fucker -it's fucked.

Or sell it and upgrade to a Harley.

And actually ride the fucker.

It's not a turbo, it's an RD28. When I open the oil filler cap with the engine running it's got a fair bit of blow by. It still runs mint though, starts from completely cold with about 3 seconds of glow plugging it.

More like the injectors need cleaned/replaced ... a problem with older diesels ... expensive ...

Ah, the 'other' type of motorcyclist.

The one that wants a Harley.

( As opposed to those that already ride one)

RD28... wow
i had the LD28 but like a tipical alloy head 6 the back cylinder cooked and scoured but that was black smoke, i would deffinately try some wynns spitfire injector cleaner... if it works then buy a bottle of morleys deisel cleaner and every few tank fulls chuck some in

hoping it is just a little bit of shit in the injectors.

I chucked a bit of injector cleaner in but I haven't noticed any difference. It still doesn't stop the oil from getting from the sump into the cylinders.
