fancy a little smoke
a little is an understatement!
It's not coming out of the exhaust at all, but it is bellowing out white smoke from the oil breather in my fasty.
I pulled the motor apart without splitting the case and then I degreased it before putting it together. I beleive some has leaked into it affecting
the oil, I've alredy changed the oil (twice) and I was wondering whether anyone has an idea of what can be done.

sounds like blowby which is a byproduct of a poor piston to bore seal. It could be caused by worn bores, rings, scuffed piston skirts, incorrect ring
end gap etc.. either way not the best. I'd just build a simple oil catch can to drain the oil back to the sump and vert the pressure to the
atmosphere. |

Firstly I'd like to thank you guy's for responding.
I had the motor running b4 I pulled it apart and the piston, sleave and rings are only about 10,000 km's old. I only changed the heads and put a
seal kit in it, 'cause it was leaking oil through the breather stand.

I don't suppose there is any chance that you could have accidently refitted the rings the wrong way around?

Can we go back a step and get a point description of what you did?
You took the heads off.
Did you pull the cylinders off the pistons?
What seals did you put in?
It was leaking through the breather stand? - was this the result of blow buy?
Futue te ipsum!!!

This is what has me baffled,
'cause I hadn't removed the pistons or barrels, they remained on the case.
I removed pretty much everything else, degreased it and put new gaskets in, like in the front thingy that has 4 bolts and covers thoses 2 cam gears,
the oil filter, the oil breather aluminium plate, put the heads on with new push rod tube seals, etc.
It previously was leaking oil, but never smokey.
Anyway if it were the rings, wouldn't the smoke be coming from the exhaust and not the case?
