I wonder if anyone could help with diagnosing an engine problem on my 2000 sc. The car was laid up for 22 years and engine was pretty sludgy inside. It's cleaned up now and has fresh oil and petrol. It was very reluctant to start but I eventually got it going and it ran reasonably well, sounded okay but puffed big clouds of blue-ish smoke at higher revs. It got up to operating temperature and ran ok for a further ten minutes or so, then died. On checking the plugs I found all four were soaked with oil. I must admit this sounds like bad news - suggests bad engine wear. But for all four plugs to be oil soaked? One or two cylinders I could understand, but all four? Never known this before on any engine, and I've had a few knackered ones over the years! What I'm wondering is if there might be anything else that could cause this? Stuck rings perhaps? I think it's running very rich too, as it's really gobbling up the petrol. Any ideas before I tear down the motor, or find a better one?
