I just finish swapping a 92 ls 1.8 motor in my eg8 the motor runs good starts good the only proproblem is that it blows a huge cloud of white smoke and its wasting a lot of gas I'm thinking headgasket anyone?

 

Sounds like a head gasket, is there oil in the radiator/or bubbles? Is there coolant in the oil? Does the exhaust smell sweet like burning coolant? Have you looked at the spark plugs? Do they have rust deposits on them?

 

^^ headgasket..have you changed your cap and rotor? plugs? wires? can be different things on the fuel problem..

 

Iv replaced the headgasket,cap,rotor, n spark plugs, n motor is still blowing white smoke n its a big *** cloud. Could timing be a problem?

 

3 words.. bad piston rings

 

You really think so bro? Damn man the thing that sucks is that I don't wanna pull that motor out after I just put it in. But if it really is high compression here I come.

 

what color is the smoke exactly? light blue or just white?

 

white = coolant
blue = oil
black = rich
When you get on it. you can smell it.. sweet smell = coolant
if it smells like burning, nasty lol.. gas or oil, they are pretty close in smell.
check ur bumper for black **** all above the exhaust, good way to tell. could also be carbon deposits, drive a few hundred miles, check your oil every few days, see if it drops. check everywhere for coolant and oil leaks.. could be a multitude of problems... I'm in the same boat as you.

 

I smell a sweet smell kinda n the smoke is light blue wen its idleing. Wen I changed the headgasket I cleaned the pistons but not the cumbustion chamber it did have a lot of carben on the cumbustion chamber. So what you guys think drive for a couple more miles or just change those rings. The best way I heard to clean the carben it to rev the motor 2 gran n spray some water but not a lot.

 

light blue or any blue = bad piston rings

 

Oil burning in the cylinders might also be caused by leaking valve stem seals or a bad head gasket. Did you check whether the head and block were level before installing the new head gasket?

 

So what you guys think b16 piston for high compression or what why not I'm alread at it?

 

you should start with a compression and leak down test if you haven't done it already...

 

Could someone give me the psi spec for each cyl.

 

87 psi is the normal... just bought 3 ls motors and mine are fresh rebuilds, they hold 95 or higher and hold it for more than 10 minutes...

ford uses an oil in the cyilnder to expand the piston rings under high pressure, it would be something to explore.

 

By level you mean deck clarence?

 

new headgasket sorry dude sounds like you you have a cracked head or block

 

like said above do a compression test and a leak down
