so it must be burning it, and you may not even get any smoke when revving it. Try this tho..
Go for a drive and find a hill, once the car is warmed up pick a gear so that your coasting down the hill at a higher rpm OFF the throttle, say around 5500 rpm, just rolling down the hill...try 2nd gear..
anyway roll down the hill for a while, maybe get your dad to follow you. then when the car starts slowing down a bit, nail the throttle wide open.
If you get a massive puff of blue smoke out the exhaust.. thats apretty clear indication that you have one or two probs, your oil rings on the piston are worn AND/OR your valve stem seals are worn. This doesnt mean the engine willexpire tomorrow.. just that it isnt 100% healthy. you could probably expect a lot more life out of the motor yet.
if you get black smoke when you boot it, this is fairly normal as it is fuel smoke.
let us know what the verdic is
