on oct 31 i got my car smogged with a little "help" from the tech. i have a 92 civic hb with a mildly built gsr motor. here are the specs of the head:
JG Pro Comp Head, Port and Polished
JG Pro Comp Valvetrain
JDM ITR Pistons
Itr Camshafts
Stock GSR Intake Mani
B&M Fuel Pressure Regulator
Stock Rail and Injectors

anyway, so the the guy retards the timing via the dizzy to get my hc levels down, and runs it pretty hard. white smoke pours out from the underbody of the car and the exhaust, but that wasnt too alarming.

what was, was when i took a look under the hood when he let off the throttle and white smoke was billowing from the exhaust mani and valve cover area. there was also a smell with the smoke...almost a burnt oil/exhaust smell that ive never really smelt before.

that freaked me out but there was nothing i could do. ever since then, the car has run noticibly hotter. my temp gauge says im cool, but the actual heat of engine has gone up conciderably (after 15 mins running, my hood is hotter then ever)
every now and then, ill smell that smell again (like burnt oil/ exhaust) and today i actually saw smoke from underneath my car. that, and my oil has been burning at a quicker rate than usual (we all know our hondas burn a little oil) another thing i have noticed is i have a little oil that is sitting on the intake mani before its bolted on to the head.

so...my question is, what do you any of you think might have happened to make my car run hotter, and burn more oil.

sorry for the long read and thank you or any positive responses.

 

You basically told the guy to blow your head gasket because you were too cheap to pay for legality.

 

ive seen your posts and youre just a smart *** who thinks he knows it all. there is no coolant overflow, no oil in my coolant or vice versa.

pay for legality? can you make that motor pass smog legally? i bet you could because you know it all.

i wasnt asking for your smart *** ****, just some help.

thanks for your time though, i know how valuable it is to you.

any positive responses will be greatly appreciated.

 

im thinking its the valve seals. symptoms of that can be smoke at idle and start-up but not at high rpms and constant speed. that explains a lot since my car runs fine on the freeway, but sucks *** in traffic.
