i'm getting some inconsistent smoke. vtec is famous for a puff here and there. i get that occasionally as many of you do, but this weekend this is what happened: at the end the auto-x course, there was somewhat of a tight, but long left-hander(about half of a skip pad).....obviously pushing the car to is tractional limit, holding the engine around 6k and then stabbing it through the finish.....when stabbed in the tight turn i got an extended amount of smoke and it continued to flow out even once i was out of it and idling back to grid. smoked for a total of 10sec.+/- from stabbing it through the timing light and obviously safely braking and idling back to grid. any ideas?

 

sounds like oil (provided it was blue-ish smoke) was getting past the valveguides in the constant high g-load corner.
my $0.02

 

i just had valve seals replaced. along with the head gasket about a couple months ago. will a leak down test confirm or deny this?

 

pcv?

 

This is just some excessive oil splashing or windage under cornering. Nothing to worry about too much. A baffled oil pan and/or a windage tray would prevent that.
