Yup it's smoking again!

My car smokes when I hit 8000 rpms or higher. I had this problem last summer, SO this past winter I had all of my oil rings replaced because I thought that would solve the problem. Apparently not. What do you guys think?

Bad Oil ring install?
Bad Valve Guides?

Thanks

 

does it smoke up only when you stop at idle? or while your gasing it?...

 

read his post, smokes at 8000+rpm

 

What color is the smoke? Maybe it's just running too rich at the high RPM range, and you're getting excess fuel...

 

it's white smoke

so I was thinking oil.

 

white smoke? are you submerging your filter in water again

 

mine smokes black during acceleration, but I'm running rich as hell. It also smokes out the window when I'm smokin' a fatty cowboy killer

 

when do you see blue smoke?? I can't remember

 

blue = oil

 

I have that problem from time to time too

 

ttt

anyone else have any ideas/suggestions?

 

How bad is the smoking? got any pictures or video?

 

it's not that bad I guess

It only does it when if I rev up to 8000 + and let off the gas... and the engine revs down.

 

If its smoking blue while you are accelerating, its a ring problem.

If its smoking blue on deceleration (e.g. at shift points or when you let off on the gas after accelerating) its likely valve seals or guides. Oil is being pushed down the guides. Check PCV while you're at it.

white smoke is H2O related i thought, and blueil and black =rich fuel mix

 

white smoke is nothin... just water.

 

Thats what i thought too...thanx for jumpin in

 

could be a leaky headgasket..

 

water???

damn I thought it was oil..

Is there any way I can correct this problem.

I have the Mugen headgasket.

 

blue/black smoke : oil rings, other engine oil problems


white (milky) smoke : coolant leak into combustion chamber, has to do with coolant

 

white=water
black=rich ratio
blue=motor oil
grey=atf

are you able to inspect your car from under neath. check if any exhaust gaskets are leaking water. when a car runs very efficient it produces co2 and water. of course the water is not drinkable. if white smoke appears only at 8000 rpms then there must be some water in the muffler area and/or the resonator. i have the same condition and no gasket leaks and/or oil leaks
