i have a problem.i have recently done a mini me on a d15b7, i put a z6 head on , got a guy to set up the timing and it slipped and bent 6 exhaust valves, so i got 6 valves grinded in and set the timing up myself and it started 1st time, the engine only has 200 miles on it since the mini me and i had a lot of trouble getting it to run good on all 4 cylinders and it wasnt burning all the petrol.it failed the m,o,t test on emissons being to high.CO-idle was 1.320% and the required limit is 3.50% vol or less. and the HC was 2990 ppm and the rquired limit was 1200 ppm or less,so i went home thinking it was something internal and pulled the plugs out and the 4 of them was really suity and im pretty sure it was of no3 cylinder. so i bought another 4 new spark plugs and finally got it to run good burning all the plugs till they were a light grey . that was on friday after it failed so when i got it running good i booked another retest for tomorrow 18/2/2008 but today i strted it up and when i accelerate white smoke comes out from the exhaust. and the plugs were suity again and i never even drove it since friday when i got it burning good on all 4. could this be anything to do with overfueling or valve stem seals and i just watched gorveat video of his car puttin out white smoke from his head gasket going and mine isnt as bad as i think.its not loosing coolant or oil and still revs real good. please dont say piston rings. lemme know please as im about to fail the test again i reckon.
