installed cam- burning oil in vtec???
ok i gotta throw this one out here- i just replaced a cam, and my car smokes like a crackfiend. the motor hadnt run for a month and a half, so i was expecting some smoke and ****. i had gas in my oil from turning it over, but i changed the oil b4 i started it. vavleseals have 12,xxx miles on them, headgasket has the same. i compression checked at 210psi for all 4 cyls. when i first started it is was smoke everywhere, then after driving for about 50 miles, it only smokes at wide open throttle and during vtec. its a gigantic cloud of blueish white smoke that smells like a mix of oil and *******. im not sure how oil would be gettin in the cyls tho...
