well i had my head gasket replaced and everything for it.....once in a while my car will smoke out of the blue.....when it does this i was told to let it warm up and then drive it hard to blow all the smoke out......and it works but it comes back once in a while.....anyone has any ideal what it can be??

sometimes i see white steam smoke sometimes blue smoke......i think it was installed incorrect....

 

Possibly valve seals.

 

it could be anything from your head gasket to your piston rings less likely the valve gaskets, that is if the smoke is blue and not black or white. Black and white smoke are from a rich and lean mixture of fuel, respectively.

 

alright i had a honda tech check out my car.....he said its something electrical

it only blows smoke out when i move the ecu and wires get loose.....i had the wire harness rewired but the guy did a ghetto job....he shoved the wires into the adapter and comes loose when i move the ecu or someone kicks it.....most common wire that always come loose is the knock sensor and the vtec pressure.....

after it comes out and shoved back in it just blow smoke and inorder to get rid of it i'll have to drive it hard to let the smoke blow out.....

this doesnt make any sense to me but it sure is acting funni

i really do not think it could be the piston rings cuz we did a compression test and it turned out fine....my first thought is the valve seals but the blue smoke goes away.....it can not be the head gasket cuz i just changed it twice within a 2 week period going from a mugen to an oem.....

the mugen head gasket seem to look fine after taken it out.....but cant use it anymore now
