Hi all just redid the top end of my turbo prelude. I have a couple of questions?

#1 why would there be smoke coming from catch can? I have a fitting welded into the vavle cover on my H23 and running line from it to catch can.

#2 I replaced valve springs and retainers with dual race springs and chomoly retainers and had new intake and exhaust valves put in along with crower turbo h23 cams. My question is will there be more noise coming from the head with the upgraded equipment. Engine seems to vibrate alittle more now and I also put the insert int the rear motor mount would this also add to the issue.

Any help would be appreiciated.

Thanks Pat

 

smoke from catch can usually means blown piston rings or valve stem seals, do a compression check, and i have titanium retainers and dual vaulve springs too and they make noise at certain rpms, but it might be a bad lost motion assmebly making the noise for me, you dont have them since your non vtec.
