Thats a LONGGGG time ago, and only certain old clunker models
I see lots of old 500,000km Mitsubishi L300 Vans [yes the ones that have been produced since the 80's?] that burn no oil, no rust, and a long lasting work horse Its like saying Fords rust, and they do my 98' XH11 had rust everywhere, something FoA was never able to solve, go boys, u have a few years more to prove me wrong Cars that smoke now are those korean trash hyundai |

Even though those Astron motors appear most prone to burn oil, any other engine can get like that too. One of the worst cases I've seen was an XE Falcon which blew a lot of blue smoke, I got a chance to see it up close with its bonnet up and there was nothing but blow by smoke coming up the oil cap with the engine running meaning the rings were stuffed. |

The bloody thing just would not blow up and kept running out of petrol, The block was glowing red at times Oh and on topic I have an old 84 L300 4WD van with a TM Magna 2.6 motor in it and it doesn't blow smoke or use oil but pity about the body I love the old bus but the rust has made me take it off the road, Would love to find a decent body for it and put it back on the road some day |
