I am having a problem with my GSR i have CAI, DC 4-2-1 header, everything else is stock, i realize my car is skoking excessively, white smoke and i notice my oil level decreses as the days progress, my coolant hasnt moved so i am really worried, have any checks i could do
???

 

do a leak down test

how many miles are on it?

sounds like your rings and going bad

 

engine jus installed last year 1998 sir engine 50k miles

 

how is the temp? Does the exhaust smell "sweet" like coolant?

 

Hmmm....often times ppl mistaken blue smoke as white smoke because you can barely tell. From what you're sayin, it shouldn't be white smoke. It's most likely blue smoke if you're burning oil. Can you tell where the oil leak or where the smoke is comin from?

 

White smoke is coolant... check it again and make sure its not blue, which is oil.

 

are you noticing any oil in the coolant resevoir?

 

When does it smoke? After starting or idling for awhile, or all the time? Worse when you get on it?

Color/smell? Like someone said earlier, steam and oil smoke are often confused. If there's kind of a sickly sweet smell to it, then you're losing coolant. You said you checked that though, so I'll trust you.

Does sound like your rings are bad. Can you do a compression test?

 

If it is smoke it will float around in the air, be blueish color and smell really bad. If it is water it will be white and disipate into the air very quickly.

 

valve seals going out....

 

I notice int the morning's when i start it and it idle's 4 a while i seel white smoke i was watching it this morning my mech telling me it can be brake fluid running back in the IM, he said it cannot be my rings cauz engine is basically new, not sure wat to check first but i will keep u guys posted

 

i am having basically the same problem. I just put new pistons and rings into my b18a and its smoking still ater 400 miles. Its def losing oil out the tailpipe. Coolant level is good and never gets hott.

 

just because it is an sir motor with 50k on it doesn't mean it's good. how was it stored before you got it. were all holes that go into the motor blocked off so no moisture can get in. i have noticed on these honda motors that if they sit for a long time with no cover on the ports they tend to burn oil. rings could get sticky or cylinders could get rusty from moisture causing rings to go bad prematurely. just a thought...
