quick question guys. My car uses a little oil, about a quart every 2000 miles and Ive noticed some smoking out of my exhaust when i rev past 6500 rpm while driving. Im thinking its rings but im not too sure. Also since ive removed my upper timing cover to install an adjustable cam gear ive noticed a slight whining noise coming from the timing belt area. it almost sounds like a have a supercharger. Im thinking water pump. any help appreciated

 

i think that burning a qt of oil every 2k is a little more than *little*..but for certain, uve got a problem..most likely the rings..the sound might be normal..the cover u remove d may just have muffle d the noise previously not heard..u did say that u noticed it after installing the cam gear.. ...if u like taking trips up to 6k range often..change to syn. oil if u havent already done so..prevents thermal breakdown of oil...which mean fried rings too

My d16z6 smokes in high rev too, probably just the bad piston rings. Thats alot of work to fix those though.

 

if you worried about it do a leak down test that will tell you what the matter.

low compression... leak down test...
