so i know this had been coverd a million times because i searched but..

white smoking is pouring out my breather, it doesn't do it bad when idle or going slow but as soon as it starts to boost it smokes like a champ... Doesn't seem like anything is comming out the exhuast, only the breather.

So could it be anything but ringlands? possibly a burnt exhuast valve?

OMG im gonna ******* burn this car to the ground any input would be great.

no way thats from valves....your piston rings or pistons are done....its blowby gasses escaping from the crank case....

perform a leakdown and compression test

If it was coming out teh exhaust it could of been Valve stem seals BUT if it is coming from breather it is most likely ring lands unfortunately. Do a compression test, make sure to do it correctly, get the car to operating temp, pull all plugs out, disconnect fuel adn ignition coil, crank car over FULL THROTTLE do same for all cylinders, good luck

**** thats what i was afraid of the car feels slugish but not terrible it smokes like a champ out the breather though. Its wierd though it started smoking one day out of the blue from the exhuast and now its moved to the valve cover...

What management do you have on the car?

at idle is not good and more than likely rignlands.. i'd take it easy if you're still driving the car and get comrpessoin asap. one thing if it happens at wot and higher rpm, it should never smoke at idle

does it sound like a wrx? thats the first sign of the ringlands being done... smoke out the breather is the 2nd

Yea when it idles it sounds like its underwater.. It stays right at 800 but i think you guys are right. Is there anything else that makes it smoke out the breather because if not then im just gonna comp check it and then order another long block... god damn im broke and can't afford this crap eaither way thanks for the replys i know this has been coverd a lot

ringlands.

Were you running a catch can? Excess crankcase pressure blew the rings on my last motor... Just a thought.

2kTeg

nope no catchcan, im gonna pull the motor tomorrow hopefully its not to jacked up eaither way im just gonna toss in another long block from hmotors sucks though

2kTeg

just incase anyone else has the problem it was deffintally blown ring lands... piston 1, 3, 4 all had blown ring lands, and 2's ringlands were perfectly fine... but the rod was bent

what was your compression? my motor has some smoke out of the breather and is throwing alot of oil out the breather hole in the valve cover.. i mean enough oil to leave my driveway looking like ****..

my compression is 200 195 160 175.. im not sure if mine is ringlands cause the compression is not that great but also not to bad..

Mr T

sounds like broken ringlands .... are the pistons stock?
