Well im interested in buying this motor from a friend of mine, he says when he is at like 5500 RPM and mats it, he can see a little white/greyish, he isnt positive, in the rear view mirror. Its was in a d16y8 in a 96 del sol, what could this be, my guess is head gasket, but why just at that RPM and floored, also says he only noticed it a couple times, doesnt mean it wasnt there though. SO what could this be.

 

blow by= bad rings or soon to be bad

 

guy says it never burned any oil

 

do you trust this person? getting an engine and finding out it has bad rings is a bitch... basically you have to tear it down pull the pistsons replace the rings and put it back together...
I have an older toyota truck and when you mash out and go wot its smokes in high rpms and i know for a fact the rings are bad.

does water drip out of the exhuast?

 

should it? thats why im swaping to, currnet rings in my d15b7 are shot, can blind the person thats driving behind me

 

well if water is coming out of the exhaust its more likley a case of BHG

 

mabey its just running rich like most stock hondas

 

hmmm...white smoke is generally a coolant issue (blown headgaksket), grey/black smoke is fuel. the grey/black smoke usually appears under WOT.

be more specific on the color.

 

if you had a shot head gastket, would the oil deffenetly be milky, he says, damnit i say that alot, thats its dark brown

heres the convo we had

him - are you asking if it smokes

him- sometimes at full throttle above 5500rpm

him - white

him - greyish

me - all the time

rest him - no not all the time
I noticed like three times
but I never really drove it that high in the rpms

 

hmmm...if its under high throttle, its just richness.

 

Any ealts agree with this?

up top

 

Does he have it in still? take it for a few runs and see how it does.

 

he has it, its sitting on a pallet though (:

 

well sounds like head gasket so how much does the guy want for the motor

 

400 for the d16y8 with 120k on it. 99 ex 5 spd trans with 25k, new clutch, ECU and axels, no harness and busted knock sensor
