its blowing blue smoke
and it sounds like marbles in the engine?
help?
can it be the timeing or valve lash:
how do i chekc the timing

 

did it start puffin blue and sounding like marbles all of a sudden? if so i'd pull the oil pan and look for metal before running it again

 

its been sitting for a while
the tap is new
the smoke was comin from before i put it up for the winter

 

first i'd adjust the valves https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=618786

 

update!
ok i cheked the oil i was quarts shy.


when i reved the car today the smoke was mor black then anything.
onlyu comes out on upper revs, over 5500 in neutral(no load)

also the noise i beleive is coming from my alternator.
when i pressed against the alternator the noise got really quiet.
and the motor was quiet.
once i let it go the noise came back.is the a tensionor for the alternator?

 

the belt tension is adjusted by the alternator pivoting. there are two bolts on the belt side of the alternator, and one on the front of the alternator that actually does the adjusting.

 

or could it be bad mounts?
i get a clunk sound also from a suspected bad mount
pass side

 

post a video if possible

 

ok will do.
