1994 Toyota Carina too much smoking from engine problems

Report a Problem

Date:February 14, 2012, 7:30 am
Name:Maxwell Phiri
Location:Zimbabwe, Harare
Vehicle:Toyota Carina
Year:1994
Modification:SG-i
General comments:Vehicle has done some distance of about 275km for one trip and arrived without major challenges. Oil consumption was observed after that distance, oil level dropped by about 3-5mm. I bought the car in December 2011 from a colleague at work. When I took it from him it showed no signs of smoking. I however noted that the ouil sump was completely dry when I took it and I had to pour 3-4 lts of oil and noted the smoke the following morning.
Problems:The car is puffing out blue/white smoke on starting it in the morning and clears after running for some minutes. A mechanic suspected worn out valve stem seals. He removed the head and fitted the valve stem seals and replaced the head without pressure testing. The vehicle has continued to smoke and now the one plug gets wet with gasoline and the other plugs develop black soot; there is inadequate firing from the spark plugs. What could be the problem? Should I have the whole engine done or the head should be properly fitted with the valve stem seals and tested first beforeit is replaced? Now vehicle idles well on starting but quickly goes rough and stalls if not reved. On reving the buish/white smoke comes out and gradually disappears with continuous reving. Idling improves with engine temperature increase but still remains roughish.
