I bought an s5 convertable a couple of months ago and I finally got it off the jack stands. I started her up and thought the cold start would give out still alot of smoke becuase it had been sitting. Im thinkin its burning up to much oil but I am not really sure how to check if it is. I can replace the parts but the diognostic part is not my strong point ha. please any suggestions would be helpful.
it did end up smoking a lot less. I figured out that I have a really small coolant leak. I think my buddie said somethin about the water jackets. I was looking into it. I already know that when your apex seals go out its a definate rebulid but could I use bars stop leak to patch it up. cause I figured out that most of the smoke is burning water.
Well you could try playing with the idle adjustment screw on top of the throttle body first. As for the leak I have never used the Bars stop leak on any of my rotaries, but it has worked on my piston motors so sure why not. I'm sure Rocket may have some input also.

I tried playing with the screw and it still is reving high. could it be caused by a bad gasket or something I may have overlook when putting the engine back together?
