Re: sj has a cold.
definetly water in your oil mate, do a pressure check on all cylinders to see if it has a gasket leak, or just replace it anyways without checking, should be a relatively easy job to do
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

Re: sj has a cold.
as i dont know the condition of the engine when i bought it i have ordered a head gasket and timing belt and will do them both tonight to be safe. Will pressure test it first just to see, and i kinda hope it is the head gasket, if it pressure tests fine and the head is fine then im at a loss as to the issue! unless as twiss has suggested i have put a pipe on wrong, and got a vac pipe on a water feed etc, will wait and see!

While the head is off, if it comes off make sure you check for warpage with a straight edge and feeler gauges and get it skimmed and pressure tested if necessary.
Not good news either way

Re: sj has a cold.
Wow that's a lot of emulsion.
There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Re: sj has a cold.
Interestingly the rockers weren't coated at all, the gunk was only on the rocker cover and being sucked through the breather and fed through the carb, so gone back to a nice clean 1.3 cover and will run the breather to the pcv and to it's own little filter.
The head gasket looked fine when I took it off, no obvious gaps, so changed it and the timing belt and will see tomorrow if she's any better!!
