That's what I'd say...

Damn, I haven't seen anything quite like that in terms of magnitude of raw oil.

****.

How much to repair?

I'm not good with prices, I'd say rebuild the whole head though.

Is it oil, or condensation, mixed with carbon.

That looks like oil.

Too thick to be water.

Not too thick to have carbon in it.

yeah, looks like some condensation in ur exhaust. Thats why its mostly at start up.

chrisw85

If thats carbon with water, I belive you'd be running a little rich by those pictures. I have water coming out upon startup (i think all cars do this something to do with combustion byproducts and how the catylitic converter does something), but not dark water like that pic.

yea it looks like black carbon with water, touch it does it feel like oil? looks can be deciving.

my old motor did that. and my new one is still spitting that crap out...almost all gone tho.

i dunno what it is, friend tasted it...dunno why...but he said it had a metallic taste


still duno what it is.

here is a pic of the exhaust valves on the motor that im talking about..the vales are pure white. if that means anything

HTn00b

Ok the engine also sputters when cold

bart2546

Valve seals, piston rings. one of those two if not both. Just my thought. Providing it is oil, but that is some EXTREMELY black stuff, which makes me sort of side with the carbon and condensation side of things. Unless the oil hasn't been changed in a while

if anyone was wondering the car doesn't smoke at all

You start the car with the garage door down?

Minglor

do a valve lash adjustment?

Might help a little

Holy expletive.. My buddies car didnt even do that, and the people gave him the wrong valve seals [for a motorcycle]. You've got a problem.
