ok guys, ive got a 92 SI with 142K miles on and im losing oil bad. it smoeks white smoke often..and i can smell burning oil coming from udner the hood..whats the deal? bad rings or what? help me!!!

 

possability, there was a thread on this recently.. just do a search for it

 

white smoke is coolant-possibly blown head gasket
blue smoke is oil getting into cylinder-to determine if its valves or ring you need to do a blow-by test

 

my H23 is burning oi slowly as well. my friend who is a mechanic said it is in the block, so instead of fixing it, what i am doing is i am going to resleeve the entire block with forged pistons. that will fix it plus i can run higher boost
