thanks neway poison , yes u are rite , i hate u now j/k

poison

haha well what else.......ur burnin something you shouldn't be ;x
do this.....to find out if you ARE burnin oil......and if ur runnin 5w30, put in a thicker oil like 10w40, if mr. smoke goes away.......kaboom, gotta be your rings, other wise u prob got oil goin thru ur valves or SOMETHING wild, has to be ur rings, heh.

ahh change 'em man lol, u should get lower comp'd pistons anyways, might as well build some sleeves n **** too while ur at it >

Cyber ITR

running 10W40 already , REDLINE

hiks, i hate my life

poison

holy ****, and ur burnin that!?!? ****** A your rings are GONE bro.
i would say throw in 20w50....but u'd have a bitchin time tryin to freakin START your car in the morning.....phew.
10w40 should be thick enough as it is, but dayam. pull the head and check your rings bro ;P

Cyber ITR

take the head off ?
and how do i know if the rings fucked by lookin at it ??
thanks

poison

ya, take the head off and look down in there to see if the rings are still in between the piston and the walls....that's pretty damn bad ur still burning oil like a **** on 10w40. you shouldn't burn oil at all, if that, maybe VERY little with 5w30

by the time u have the head off, u r half way done.....pull the motor out (if you haven't already) take off mr. oil pan.....flip that bad boy around upside down, and take off crank and all that, and pull out pistons. get urself some low comp turbo pistons....o ya.....forged, and you just MIGHT wanna get new rings.....just a thought heh heh

Cyber ITR

lehhh i cant do that
looks like gotta pay my mechanic to do it
damn $$$ again
bah bah

Cyber ITR

by the way if the piston rings are gone i tot the compression will be low ??
i still managed to get 225 215 225 215
confused

civictom

If your compression is straight.....I would think that it has to do with the turbo seals....but also what do your plugs look like......if they are black...are they a dry black or a wet oil soaked black?....if your car is blowing enough smoke to be that noticeable i would think your compression numbers would be a lot lower than that if it is in fact your ring/ ring lands...

BlowOff

I really don't think it's the rings, but it could be the start of them going bad.

When I cracked my ring lands my compression was this:

10, 12, 65, 205

The car would run for about 10 seconds and stall and I had a blue fog machine for a tail pipe! Check the oil seals first....start with the easy and inexpensive, then go down the list.

PROFILES2000

i agree when my rings were shot i ran a 190 190 65 190
check other things like fuel are u running to rich or lean. is it possible that his timing may need to be retarted?
how much smoke do u see?

Cyber ITR

the spark plugs are dry black , cuz im running 550cc injectors hehehe dumb me ....
well my friend told me its only like a puff (haze) of blue smoke , not REALLY noticeable , but still u can see it coming out from the exhaust a lil bit
hopefully its only my turbo seal

Cyber ITR
