Thank you Johann About two weeks ago popped a piston ring. It cost me £1100 for an 'unwarranted' replacement engine (inc fitting) and then a week later, I get over run smoke. I was worried that the replacement engine had been a waste of money. I've got a few tweaks on the car and she's running very very fast indeed, so maybe the extra pressure is, as you say, leaking through a dodgy seal. The car's book in for a check over on Monday, so I'll let you know what transpires...
