oil smoke coming from the breather??? started right after a stressfull 40 - 120 mph run. engine died, then restarted after about 10 min., after that seems to run OK. no knocking or weird sounds. Hella smoke coming from the valvecover breather. what could it be??

 

i work at jiffy lube and when we add new oil theres crazzy smoke sometimes comen outa hotter engines i think its just the metal in the motor gets hot from no oil then oil gets on it so what im sayen is may b u need to check ur oil leval if its low it can do that but if its way 2 high it also can

oil level is good. started it this morning. it sounds like it has a miss. and still smoking from valve cover????

bump

 

what do you mean sounds like it has a miss?
are u throwing codes?
does the car drive differently after this has happened

 

please allow me to explain, i know this one all to well!!!

you are getting "blow by"
caused by exsesive cylinder pressure.

oil is seeping passed your rings and into your cumbustion chamber.

your car should seem to "miss" from time to time.

this is bad!

the solution to this is....

anyone know???

i will tell you.
NEW RINGS!!!

sorry to be the one to tell you. you need to drive it as little as possible. very slowly i might add, untill you can get some new rings.
it might last another year
it may be dead by the time i get done typing this.
i would baby it until i could get it fixed
no interstates, no long trips

good luck, sorry it happened to you as well

yea, its definetly fucked. doesn't run right at all. Does the engine have to come completely out for new rings. i'm guessing yes????

 

no it doesnt "have to" but damn i would

how much would a shop charge??? and should I just go ahead do better pistons at the same time??

 

not really sure it kinda depends on the shop.
rings are around $80
pulling and reinstalling a motor is where the cost will be

if you are in VA, you have a ton of options for shops there.
call a few of them and price shop
even better, tell them you are price shopping and try to get them to compete for your business.

oh yeah and if i had the same synario i would do rods and pistons also, but that will greatly increase the cost.

good luck
