Just need some opinions its smoking out of the dipstick and top of the valve cover alittle bit. its a b16 with a greddy turbo tuned on 8lbs. or is it the ringlands
thanx guys

 

Blah, I recall hearing this problem but I don't recall what it was about - and I've never actually seen it.

It's not a headgasket blowout though. If it was you'd see white smoke pouring out your exhaust, especially when you get on it hard.

 

deffinately not a head gasket. never actually seen smoke come from the dipstick to be honest with you though...

Blah, I don't feel like searching, but if you do I'm sure you'll find something. It's been on here a few times, forgot what it meant exactly, if I remember correctly it usually happens w/ boosted setups - I forgot what the expletive it was though :-\. Though it's not like an ultra-weird problem or anything.

 

to much pressure in the crank case.. just a guess not sure... is it like a real white smoke?

 

Yeah i think its a cracked ringland because i have alot of blow by and not alot of compressino

 

go to a smog shop and ask them to check w/ there smog probe they will be able to tell u in a minute, if there is hc in the cooling system then u have a blown head gasket.

 

How long have you been turboed and what type of PCV system are you using because like said you have way to much engine pressure going on and it needs to find a place to get out. If you had the turbo on for less then 1000 miles you might be able to save the rings and ringlands and pistons by putting a better then stock PCV system, but right now your damaging the piston rings.
