help!? head gasket or not!?
Okay..after my cousin change my valve stem seals, my car stop the blue smoke...and 1 week later (which is today) it started to white smoke alot...its it the head gasket? and is there a HOW TO -head gasket on b18c1. i search the forum but end up with no luck..thanks guys!
check compression. check to see if there is white milky stuff under your oil cap/valve cover. also check if there is oil in your IM by looking through your TB
okay...last week before the vaule stem seals, the compressson were 210,195-197,210,210 (around 210) just did the compresson test it came out all 195-198 on all 4 cylinder. cylinder 1 and 2 spark plug is freakin wet. could it be crack sleeve? piston melted? head gasket?

you have low comp pistosn so with those numbers they are still good...if your paranoid about it then just change it...kind of hard to say when we're not there inspecting it
according to what my cousin was saying...he said that its my turbo that went bad. its leaking into the down pipe to cause it to smoke....but one thing that i notices, why is my spark plug wet? (he said that it because of my O ring on my valve cover) how can that wet the spark plug? and the piston!? it cannot wet the piston unless i take off the the spark plug correct?

Correct. Those compression numbers are good. You could eliminate the possibilty of the turbo by unbolting it and running open manifold. I dont mean drive it this way or even remove the turbo from the vehicle. Just get it away from the exhaust stream. If the some pours you at least know it is not the turbo. NOTE, your car will be VERY loud like this. How Long has this setup been put together? Is there oil in the Charge piping? Good Brand turbo? ????
yes its a good brand turbo. its a turbonetic. i drove around with this turbo for one week. so your saying that remove the turbo from the manifold? and let it run to see if it still drip?
