Addendum.

I have been browsing about the valve seal.... Symptoms, it says when the car is idle for a long time, u start it, that smoke will come out and stop, my own doesn't do that...

I used d car 4pm on Monday and used again by Wednesday 8am...that's over 24hrs parked, it doesn't smoke at start and does its smoke at acceleration or occasionally without acceleration
Valve seal doesn't smoke at start but could smoke like 30 seconds after and the clear out. Basically, it's smoking that is not constant.

How? Did you just buy from a dealer?

I met a man dealing on mgbuka (car dismantling) he offered 400k, i told him to look out for another car for me. After a week, he got one. I added 200k and got the new one. Still a Nigerian used. My gearbox was used for the new one as its gear only reverses.

Currently enjoying the new ride

They say if changed, doesn't last... Usually 6 months only... It goes back to square one. New engine is quite expensive
I ringed my old car engine (1998 Nissan Primera) and it didn't smoke for 2 years before i eventually sold it.
Your mechanic and mechanical parts play a very important role in rebuilding an engine
