Smoke at WOT
Well, i have a 89 DX wit a ZC swap and i love it ;]
But im havin some problems and the car is slow as a civic ex :[
at WOT im getting smoke. Looks blue/white, i suspect rings. I recent tuned my fuel managment and im running at perfect fuel pressure. I can take the car slowly to 5 or 6 k with no smoke, but if im at WOT then i get smoke.. I know its not burning coolant, because I was suspicious of that already and replaced the head gasket. Still havin the same problem.
Sound like rings to anyone else?
yes, I searched.
If so, can anyone recommend a good rod/piston combination for the zc..
I was thinkin low com Aries with some crower rods.

well i finally got around to taking out the plugs, they all looked fine, i still used a wire brush on them to clean them up a little. I also set the gap to around .050
i still have smoke at WOT... any other suggestions?

Re: (StupidSlowCRX)
.05? what is honda gap I just did a tune-up like a month ago, and If I remember right it was more around .3 or was it .03 I dont remember, I know its a pretty big range though......im just curious.
I would think its prob. your valvetrain......like valve seals and such its opening alot faster and opening more at wot......just a thought.
