Perform a compression test. Both wet and dry.
@rajaatta

[hassanmughal101]

OK but if The Compression Is Good then What ?
Also What is Minimum Compression Ratio Must Be

[hassanmughal101]

Also i Checked The Oil Level Is Low
But Car is Stable AS New Not an Single Vibration or Any Weird Noises

[capsat]

is it a LHD GCC 5 speed manual / or 3 speed auto version from GULF War expats.
parked for so long with white / bluish smoke at start up. most likely valve seals need replacement.
you are guided correctly by other forums.

i believe you earlier acquired a Datsun Blue Bird, do I recall correctly you are in Sialkot ?

OK but if The Compression Is Good then What ?

If the wet and dry compression are near to same, then valves might be culprit. But if the compression is same and good, then it must be valve seals.

[rajaatta]

Calm your horses down change the engine oil first

[hassanmughal101]

Yup Brother Its me Sold Out That Datsun Bluebird due To many Problems it Have That Can Be Fixed But i have Lack of TIme.

no Its not An GCC Variant Its an X Embassy's Car Station Wagon With W55 5speed Gear I Believe Its an Australian Model It Has Soild Axle In Rear End
Also Its Complete Base Variant XL

[hassanmughal101]

Sir Don't Know Which Engine Oil is In It
Also Which One Is Recommended ?
Its 151k On The Clock All Gauges Are Still Working Like Fuel and Temp

[hassanmughal101]

Other Wise Car Completely Good Don't Require Any Tiype Of Work

[rajaatta]

Try to find api SF and use 20w50 remember to drain it on max 700 kms interval it will revive up the internals and will clear the old gunk also.

Remember this 22r is gasket thirsty engine so it's better to remove the thermostat valve for the first few hundred kms.
And also don't put stress of A/C on it and don't ever use green acidic coolant in it.

[hassanmughal101]

i have purchase an Coolant from Pakwheels Store Called Carrera Red 4 liter but Didn't put in Yet Also My Phupa Who Had An LJ79 Land Crusier He Said May The PCV Valve Also Be Chocked Up i Tired To Check it But Its Like Stuck If i Try To Open It Maybe It Will Broke

[hassanmughal101]

This Is The An Picture Of Engine Bay When My Mechanic Open The Tappet Cover For Cleaning also Clean The Carb With Carb Cleaner and Replace The Plugs

[hassanmughal101]

The A/C Condenser Ruined Up Also needs Fresh Gas I am Not Using A/C Currently

[hassanmughal101]

[rajaatta]

It's fine and perfect it has ethyl glycol

Asslamualikum Dear Members
After A Long Time Came to This Thread
I was Busy in Some Business Maters

So I Drive Cressida Yesterday It Was giving Light Smoke As Before but One of my Old Car Freak Uncle told Me the Exhausts You Put its 95 Percent chances The smoke coming from Exhausts itself
because these Kabli Exhausts are Kept for very Long time and Unknown History of Them Might be Some Old Oil in it then Burns with on Car Is That True ??

Please HELP Me Out Members

Plus going to get Oil Today as @rajaatta Sir told About API SF 20W50 Kix

[hassanmughal101]

@capsat @helper_learner @Hassan1991 @Xulfiqar

[helper_learner]

Yes it is possible, check the tail, if it is too black / sticky.

[hassanmughal101]

not Kind of Sticky But Black for Sure Also Maybe the oil is in the Baffle On Exhausts
