When the engine gets up to operating temperature there is a funny smell coming out of the exhaust almost like burning rubber with also white smoke which signals to me coolant. I have been checking my coolant level daily and and the radiator and over-flow have not lost any coolant. I did a compression check today and found with the thottle body fully open and fuel cut off that all 4 cylinders are at 205psi. How am i getting 205 psi on a 8:8:1 compression engine, in the helms manual it says I should be getting a readin of some where around 178. As I was taking out the spark plugs some smoke was coming out of the holes which leads me to think the problem is the valve stem seals. However I am not very sure about either of my diagnosis's. if anyone could give me some input I would greatly appreciate it.

 

sorry i don't have an answer but i noticed that your running a turbo on an f22b2 thats an lx moto right? what kinda kit are you running Fmax ? Drag? and what what are some of the things i should do to my motor to get it set up for a turbo? i know its alot of questions but any help would be cool.

 

What about your head gasket?

</TD></TR></TABLE>yup oil coming out of the holes of the spark plugs. why dont you try a compression leak down test than you can verify whats leaking. if u remove the oil cap and hear air coming out than its your oil rings. than if you dont hear anything. check the condition of your plugs they look foul out black with oil residue or white as if your running a hot spark. is it a puff of smoke between shifts or constant flow. have to know these details to than helo verify your problem. good luck

 

The spark plugs on the arch looked a little whitish. as for the smoke it really only happens when i am stopped for a little while.. and I think as i am stopped and as the engine gets hotter the smoke gets worse... I'm going to try and take a picture of the spark plugs tomorrow to see it'll describe it better for you

 

Sounds like a leaking head gasket to me. My friends turbo dodge used to do that; when it idled, it smoked, but running the smoke reduced.
