Blue smoke everywhere
Hey what’s up guys. I recently bought a 95 VTEC del sol. With 228k miles on it. Drove it 4hrs back to my house, no smoke. I hit VTEC on the way a couple of times, no smoke. Passed emissions fine.
I just got a new full 2.5 stainless steel piping installed on the car, no cat, cut right at the axle back.
Got into vtec a few more times maybe 4-5.. with the new exhaust and the car now blows blue smoke everywhere, on decel, any acceleration past 5500 rpms, even on a 4K rpm decel.
I know its probably the rings. But the motor was gone thru before I bought it, apparently. The mechanic said everything looked good and showed no wear, and basically buttoned it up with new gaskets and called it good. The dude had the paper work too.
Could it be because of the new exhaust? The car was only driven 200 miles after the work and was sitting for 8 months I believe.

Re: Blue smoke everywhere
So it’s nothing for a motor with that mileage, no smoke, no symptoms and the next day it’s blowing by like crazy
On the dipstick it isn’t burning anything either, it stays on full. But it’s deifently a oil burning blue smoke.

Re: Blue smoke everywhere
My other car had a test pipe and it never ever smoked. I don’t have a compression tester, and I wouldn’t even do that because I’d just swap the motor for the one in my other car, if the rings are that bad.
I just wanted to know if it could be from the cat less exhaust install, or say maybe a bad pcv valve. I drove around today and it still smokes but not as bad

Re: Blue smoke everywhere
Compression test you rent from your local hardware store.
you can pull your exhaust headers off and see if oil is leaking from the valves and shooting in your exhaust.
Uou can also pull your spark plugs out to see if oil is leaking from the o-ring gaskets.

Re: Blue smoke everywhere
Guess not, smoke is still there. It’s after a pull or two and on engine braking. It’ll smoke all the way from 7500-2000 rpm deceling. I had the exhaust on for over a week, and been driving it around to try to burn off anything in the exhaust. But it seems like it’s just smoking
suggestions?
