Need you guys' thoughts. So when I got my car last March, it ran perfect. Could hit vtec fine, etc. Then, my car used to smoke a little bit during high rpms, and then it started to smoke a lot. Now, my car smokes when just cruising around at normal speeds (2000 rpm) and smokes a good amount during highway cruising (around 4000 rpm on the highway at 70mph). I know it's burning oil by the smell and color of the smoke, plus I check my oil level regularly and can tell it's burning it. So, what are your thoughts as to what it could be? The performance and general feel of the car is still perfect. It doesn't misfire or stutter/stumble or anything at all. I just did a complete tune up this past week too. I appreciate the help everyone!

 

Wheres the smoke coming from? Could be valve seals, or even ring blowby. Valve seals would be my first guess.

 

I'd put my money on the valve seals

 

It is coming from my tailpipe. I was also told valve seals as well. The motor is a B18C. It was from a JDM Integra Type R. It has 42500 miles when it was imported last year. It should have around 50-55k at this point after all of my driving since then. I didn't think it would have this problem so early in its life!

 

U need to factor in age. Even though it is low miles, due to age, wear and tear still occurs.

 

I suppose you are correct! Didn't think of that! The motor is 20 years old at this point!

 

It's probably never had a valve adjustment done in it's life, I'd start there and see what happens. If you know of a good, knowledgeable shop you could take it there and have them inspect the seals too.
