my gsr has recently started to blow blue smoke out of the exhaust when i'm at high rpms'. what could this be? valves?....

JiggyKooAndy

it has to do with your oil...definately check your oil/ oil level, if you have bluish gray smoke that means oil is leaking through somewhere into you combustion chamber, you should get a compression test and a leak down test.

i agree. blue smoke means burnt oil. my buddy had a 95 gsr with like 130k miles and every time he floored it he blew blue smoke. he lost something like a quart of oil every week to two weeks.

roninb18

compression and leak down test are expensive right?..how much?

TEGME

You can do the compression test yourself for cheap, go to www.c-speedracing.com for instructions. Not sure on the leakdown though.

calientecaitlin

you can buy kits for both of these at a place like autozone...
blue smoke=not good so get it checked out soon!

I've got the same problem with my high mileage GSR. It's most likely your piston rings if the smoking occurs at high rpm's... smoke upon start up or between shifts is usually because of leaky valve seals. It's not a huge deal that you are burning oil... just keep your eye on the oil level and don't let it run down. Just save your money for a rebuild and keep a case or two of oil around.

My gsr does the same thing, GSR's seem to have that problem its most likely rings. Just dotn kill it as much and MAKE SURE U KEEP OIL IN IT. For now sae up for a rebuild.

I just wanted to add that just b/c you do a compression test and it comes out okay that the rings are fine. Only a leak down test can determine the condition of your oil control rings. Good luck

sorry OFF TOPIC: hey JiggyKooAndy is that a photoshopped pic of an Integra in your avatar? or could it be the first Integra convertible heheh.

JiggyKooAndy

u tell me

2 things

is that actually your car? why would someone spend $9k to convert a integra lol but it does look really cool

does the smoke happen at start up or while driving? If its only at startup then its probably your valve seals

i tihnk that **** looks pimp .
i likeit , if i had naother ls or soemthing ,i would nt mind having one liek that

A convetible teg would ride like chit. You would have to put a whole lot of reinforcements that would just way the car down. Plus, you probably have to rebuild the car from the ground up. Honda wasn't able to do a good job themselves with the topless delsol.

JeremyL

most convertibles ride like **** even from the factory, other than a Miata or an MR2 Spyder being the only reasonably priced convts that can still handle

hey jiggy..if the convert teg is urs gimme a pm if u come into the city, i'd love to see it

Evilteg

could be valve spring seals are leaking, try adding some oil additive to it.

Rock chalk Jayhawk you are losers!!!

if you getting blue smoke, it means your car is running rich. try valve adjustment to c if that'll solve a problem. if not you might have problem with valve releasing too much fuel into the engine.

same here my went through that much and it was my rings and they just went like a month ago and i only had 90k on it.
