ok I have my theories but I just wanted to throw it out and get some feedback. at idle I have a slight white smoke from teh exhaust and if I rev up my motor,D15B7 93 Civic DX Sedan, I get a real bad white smoke. ***ALSO ALOT OF BLACK SOOT on my exhaust and rear bumper***
Would it end up being the rings or head related....Block has over 200K and head has only 95K. Post up info and thanks for looking...
Also could hit me up on AIM whitesedan93

do a compression and leakdown and see whare your # are at

 

I'm going to do those tests this weekend.but just trying to get a heads up if possible. thanks for the feedback.

 

i had the same problem a month ago, last week i solved.

it was the headgasket

cilinder 2 leaked coolant in the cilinder. is your engine running a bit poor? try pulling plugs and see if your car runs differently, be sure to do this on a warmed up engine (at the point where the coolant is flowing). in my block there was a piece chipped out of the outside #2 sleeve, solved it with some liqiud gasket and a new headgasket. runs fine and dandy

edit: this engine is temp until i have money for my b-series transplant

 

I would have to say it's not the Headgasket..I have been down that road before and know the symtoms of that. I'm not dropping any cylinders or anything like you would w/ a HG and the actual car will still pull good if I get on it where as when I had a bad HG it ran like complete ***..
thanks for the info though...Anyone else w/ info would be greatly appreciated...

 

well oil burns black, coolant burns grey. yourll call

 

sounds like a head gasket to me too.

 

thanks for the feedback so far guys..

 

id guess HG as well or at worse a warped block.

 

thanks 1BadCvC...

Anyway, I would definately do a leakdown test. Sounds like a bad HG.

 

the info/feedback is greatly appreciated alot guys....thanks

 

also getting the black soot all over my exhaust tip and rear bumper...

 

sounds like the car is running rich. mine does this as well... i havent bothered to fix it tho, as im building my motor....

 

thanks for the little info LSVTEC

 

should be checking out some #'s from leakdown/compression tests this evening....yeeehaw

 

I'm going with HG&gt;
I just picked up a 90' std and got it to start. WOW..looks like a smoke machine.
