i have a small about of ble smoke being burned of and its coming out the my valve cover breather filter. its not that bad, just weird. any ideas what it is?

mike93eh

for starters...how about you take that stupid ricer filter off and hook it up like its suppose to be..

the.hamburglar

what do you mean hook it up like its supposed to be? youd be stupid to hook it up to the charge pipe. anyways, she blew so i need a new motor now

1-180psi
2-160psi
3-40psi
4-100psi

think its alright to still bad and mess up the motor more. ill buy a new one in the spring. or is all that oil its buring going to mess up the turbo and map sensors. on second thought ill just park it.

blue smoke= oil.....oil out of breather=blowby...blow by= shot piston rings....

hotimportcrx

and alot of times when u mess up your engine cylinders 3 and 4 usually go first....because it takes the longest time for the fuel to travel threw the rail to those cylinders....resulting in those cylinders leaning out before the others

hotimportcrx

no its gonna keep getting worse.....thats how mine was when i blew the rings...first it was a little then i riped it again...because i knew it was done...and it started shooting oil out the breather and out the exhause manifold all over the place

the.hamburglar

think the sleeves are ok? will i need to replace them

i saw this problem at ultimate speed shop when a car was on the dyno when they made a pass on the dyno smoke would come out of the breather port. saw the comp. i wold go with a set of new rings.how much boost are you running?

the.hamburglar

5psi

Day-DayC

sleeves should still be good

hotimportcrx

5 psi your fine i was running 16 daily and mine are nice.....just get some aftermarket rods/pistons and run 10-12 psi daily and more when "you need to"

the.hamburglar

yeah but is it alright to get forged pistons and rods with the stock sleeves and valvetrain?

haha wow that was a really educated response (please note alot of sarcasism there)

hotimportcrx

yea...why not,,,you know how many ppl got stock sleeves...and valvetrain..with aftermarket rods/pistons

the.hamburglar

alot of people actually get aftermarket pistons and rods with the stock sleeves? it costs to much damn money to sleeve it. so id be alot with just pistons and rods? how much could i boost with 9:1 pistons and forged eagle rods?

or cracked ringlands.

turbotime

does the smoke come out of the breather all the time or just in higher rpms? is it alot of smoke or a little?

turbotime

...cause light blue smoke comes out of my valve cover breather at high rpms 6-8k ish. I think its normal.. i mean that engine is hot under boost, some oil is bound to burn off.

i would comrpession and leakdown to confirm

can you see the smoke when your just driving? how do you know its smokeing from the breather?

the.hamburglar

didnt i tell you guys my numbers?

1-180
2-160
3-40
4-100

my motor is toast. it needs a rebuid, i did look above please close to the top
