Changing Seals How hard can it be?
My car has been emitting alot of smoke lately , especially when i give it some revs.
Could it be the premix burning or is it something wrong with the engine itself?
100ml premix 39liters of fuel
the cars rpm also struggles and is unstable for 3-4 seconds on cold startup
i have had the T-body cleaned
Where can i get a new set of seals with shipping to asia?

Blue smoke?
Black smoke?
White smoke?
all have different causes......
Which 'seals' are you looking to replace?
'O' rings?
Side oil seals?
Apex?
your sig says you have a Pettit s/c - why not ask Pettit?

I think oil is burning really fast because i stopped premixing and drove 2 full tanks and still car gave blue smoke.
I checked the dipstick and it was LOW
If i replace the o-rings will it give it better compression too?

Now you see, that's a problem - you literally don't know how little you know.
Not trying to insult you here, please don't take it wrong, just start the realization that if you don't know what an 'O'ring does in the rotary, then taking it to bits may be 'counterproductive'.

then you have side seals and apex seals to produce compression.
if you know how it works why dont you know what the seals do?
