Hi,

Last few days white smoke is observed from exhaust. Also engine oil requirement goes high. I've to add engine oil just after about 1000mile running. No lick observed. Is this problem with engine head? Do I need to overhaul the engine or change it?

Hi there,

The white smoke and high oil consumption are signs of a tired engine, there are a few tests that can be done to pin point the exact cause of your problems, but all in all you may be better of looking at your options of a change over new or reconditioned engine.
