As the title say...

Its spitting out oil from the exhaust... it has 168,xxx miles on it, when I rev it I can see speckles of oil on the ground... I wish I can take a video but I dont have a camera that do video's LoL! I can see also white smoke when I start it first thing in the morning.

Is it possible that my piston rings are worn?

I hope I dont have to replace my engine coz I dont have the money

Also... is there a free website that I can download a repair manual?


Thanks.

 

Sounds like the rings are bad, but I could be wrong. I would run a compression check to be sure everthings good there.

 

If you had enough oil going into your exhaust to be able to see it coming out at the tail pipe your exhaust would smoke so bad you wouldn't be able to see. Your exhaust gasses coming out of the pipe would be solid light grey/blue.

I think what you are seeing is water and carbon mixed together. Lot's of moisture mixing with the carbon buildup on the inside walls of the exhaust pipe.



This is a first thing in the AM start for my old engine. It smoked a bit because of a bad vavle seal. But what you see spraying out of the exhaust tips is water mixed with carbon. When it hits the ground it looks like burnt oil but it isn't.

 

hey ghost what kind of exhaust is that? I need to replace my muffler its got a hole you can get your whole hand into and i want a nice sounding exhaust, that sounds pretty good

 

IIRC it is the EX-R (USDM EX) Borla exhaust. I bought the complete system from the cat back. I have it hanging on my wall at the present time and don't plan on using it. I would sell it but I doubt that it would be worth the shipping charges.

 

borla is expensive huh?

 

Yeah it's not cheap.

 

how can you tell if the valve seal needs to be replace? is it like worn out?
