sounds like one of your cams is out of timming, by 1 tooth at least. who touch it last and what did they do to it before you had this problem? is it lacking power throughout the whole rev range and under all throttle loads?

well i think its tps, but that rarly needs touching so it is probably a sensor but could be a number... on idle when cold or anytime?

black smoke means its overfueling, i'm guessing it would be afm but it could be a number of sensors, how is it on fuel? when do you see the white smoke?

new rings is practially calling for a rebuild, your better of just chucking in another ej22. there's tons of em around. soop means - valve stem seals but i personally doubt that, their is a way to check that. let the car idle for 2 3 minutes then comeback and give it a rev(no need to press hard) and see if any smoke comes out, if it does then it is your valve stem seals but i reckon its your rings. again, how many k's has your car done?

Head gasket? Last service came up with a probable head gasket oil leak so that could be the culprit?

yeh that could be but how would they know? they must be seeing the oil seep outside, their is no way they know that oil is leaking from their into the chambers. how many k's has your car done? i think the smoke is just abit of oil being burnt untill your rings expand as the engine warms up which isn't great but alot of older cars do it but main thing is its nothing to worry about so long as its cleared by the time its warm.
