its normal on b16 81.5mm cp piston (freshly build) i have custom catch can (t1 style) and i see a litle smoke go out its normal? smell like gas....??
A little bit of steam or vapor that disipates quickly is normal. Same looking stuff as when you take off the oil fil cap on a hot motor. If you are getting thick smoke then you might have problems.
Do a leakdown test. A little smoke can be normal or indicative of a problem with your ring seal. A leakdown test can tell you if you have anything wo be worried about. It's probably nothing, but peace of mind is relatively easy to get in your case, so do the test.
