Ok guys so im burning oil it seems only in first gear when i leave a stop light. There is a ton of oil smoke and then at about 3500 rpms when i shift into 2nd it goes away. The car is a 88 ef 4 door with 117,000 on the original motor. Do you guys think its the valve stem seals? I did a compression test and things came back good. What are your opinions???

 

.my vote goes to valve stem seals

Thanks my nw homie

 

no problem man a friend had the same problem and it was valve stem seals.

 

Anymore opinions????

 

so its blue smoke then?

 

he already said its burning oil so lets assume its black.
i still think valve stem seals

 

Last time i checked burning oil is blue smoke, black smoke is rich. So im trying to make sure what color is his smoke. Its either valve stems or piston rings i think, but piston rings would smoke in higher rpms. have u done a vaccum test

I have not done a vaccum test how do you do that

 

i got blue smoke too. its from idling too long at a red. its probably needs a rebuild because the piston rings are messed up

 

your supposed to put a teaspoon of oil in the cylinder to find out if its piston rings.. but forget if its supposed to go up or down (compression)

blue is oil black is fuel white is coolant.
just take it to a mechanic, they should be able to tell you whats wrong in a few minutes so you dont have to dick around and ask on here to figure it out.its either piston rings or valve seals. good luck

 

well... first gear always will puff the most if ur car burn oil. u dont really notice it in any other gears. mine was really bad. u might just have bad rings. but u can always try what the other guys are tellin ya. but check ur compression. cuz i had that problem in my last engine. it was the rings in mine.

 

im having the same problem but only in my rpm and when i rev it hi. it smokes a lil bit if i push it hard. im hoping it will be the vavle stem seals what u guys think?

It's the ******* valve stems man, im sure, and if it isnt, might as well replace along with rings, or new motor. ( to op)

 

now i have to take the motor out and change rings. that **** sucks ok if im going to do that what should i do while the block is at the machine shop to improve my torque i wanna run nos later down the road.

 

You might just be running rich also, ud really have to explain motor details. Go do a compression test before anything

 

im running a d16z6 with obdo d16 intake manifold and a walbro fuel pump and a 7lbs flywheel and act stage 2 clutch.

ok. how is blue smoke running rich? do people even read these posts holy crap.. he said he did a compression test, for the second time.

 

what can i do to the block to improve torque since i have to fix rings.

 

hey dipshit, i am talking to efking1985, I put in parenthesis (to op) when i speak to the op.

 

can you get stroker kits for honda engines? haha.. other then that i dont know.

 

do they have a site for the storker kit where i can buy it?
