i got a 95 GSR problem is when i am on high RPM and when it hits vtec a thick white smoke comes out of my muffler and a black spots on my rear end

i did a compression test on the head cylinder 1. 235 2. 240 3. 240 4. 238

there is no oil leakage but still once in a while i add oil on my car,

BTW i changed all my gaskets and seals like head gaskets, cam seals and vtec gaskets,

what could be the problem?

 

When your blowing white smoke, its usually a head gasket. Did you change it, or a shop? Was it torqued correctly? Is there any oil leaking from the head?

How long has this been going on for?

Good luck

 

yup a reputable shop changed it, no oil leaking from everywhere

it's been 3 months now

the engine runs strong the only problem it the thick white smoke coming out when it hits vtec and the black spots on my rear end

 

its most likely the rings going bad .... just take it easy on the engine and it will be fine for a while

 

When smoke comes out of your car, does that tell you to "HIT VTECHK"?


Lay off your engine until you get it fixed.

 

my car releases white thick smoke when it hits vtec

i did a compression test and the test where good for piston rings to be worn out and i pulled the dipstick while the car is started and there is no smoke coming out

^^^^ this is what people say to me to check if my piston rings are no longer good

 

What about the Valve seals?

 

^^^^that is what i think the problem is

 

My car does the same, it blows white smoke when i'm on vtec. I had my headgasket and valve seals replaced and it doesn't do it now.

 

how much did you spend for the valve seals? changed?

 

funny this thread just came up cause i have the same problem....lots of smoke passed 6k and black soot on my rear bumper and wing....not to mention i have a white car

 

^^^^ same as me same 95 GSR and white car

 

yup it sucks and i've been searching but don't know what to do. I don't feel like ripping apart the whole engine to find out that its something small or inexpensive.

 

i think my problem are my valve seals or piston rings, im still deciding to build my engine (but got no mooooollllaaaaaah!!!! to support) or just change my valve seals and piston rings to oem ones but on the long run i would still build it,

 

anyone else have some input?

 

Running Rich?

 

yeah thats what i think my car is doing because before i put my intake manifold on my car and my exhaust i never had this problem. it seems like i got this problem when i put the IM on. Im going to the dyno on the 8th so they should be able to tell me if im running rich

 

It's either valve seals or piston rings since we've already ruled out the headgasket and oil leakage.
