92 accord, just changed the oil 1 hour ago, i took the valve cover off & BRAKE CLEANED
the valves & the camshaft, then poured 5w-30 over them & let it all drain out.

Did i mess-up my exhaust valves or something??

 

bump, anyone have any advice???

 

what color is the smoke?

also did you replace the gasket

 

gasket is new. the smoke isnt blue, or black. white would prob sum it up.

someone told me to just run it & see what happens, u think i mess up the valves??

 

hows the oil level? Is it overfilled?

 

nope, oil is right on. we believe my valve seals are ****

 

i'd venture to say the carb cleaner is just burning off. Drive it a bit and see what happens.

Also, remember, on cold starts you will get white smoke for a while as the water (condesation) burns

 

after i did it last nite it smoked hardcore & today not as bad. how long will it take to burn off???

 

probably a bit of high spirted driving. Take it out on the road and up to redline, of course obey your laws and such. Carb cleaner usually burns white i believe.

 

i hope your right man. i have done that about 3 times. when i removed the valve cover today, there wasnt any oil in the valve cover by the valves. i put a little bit of oil on the valves again.

just dunno what to do? either it burns off, or i replace the seals

 

you may wanna try seaform lol. i don't see how carb cleaner could have done anything.. it might have eaten some seals though.

when you scrapped the gasket off none of it fell in right? also, check the adjustment.

 

nope. everything was fine. just hope nothing happened to the seals. the valve cover is getting kinda noisy.

 

i'd check the adjustment if you think its noisy. i could be wrong but im not sure if theres supposed to be oil in there after the cars off..

 

yeah there should be oil in there. hope i didnt burn up the valves. just dunno what to do.

 

yeah, well i guess all thats left is to check the gap. or inspect the gaskets. im surprised no one else has chimed in

 

the gap & the gasket for the valve cover are good
