smoking b16 help
i have a on going issue i cant seem to pin point. i have a b16 that smokes classic right. well here is some info been driving it for almost 3 years always smoked in vtec. since i have boosted it its been fine same smoke as usual, until the other day when accelerating lots of blue smoke.
- i have tried valve stem seal no luck.
- i have eagle rods,srp pistons and main stud
i have pulled plugs and its only cylinder 4
i have 180 comp across board
i recently had manifold off and both exhaust valves had lots of carbon and was soaked in oil.
now my main question is how much oil would a bad valve guide let leak? i have oil coming out around gasket on that exhuast port. but i havent lost any power and i know the oil control ring has nothing to do with power loss but just giving as much info as possilbe
any one else have this issue?
here is a pic of cyinder 4 exhaust port
to me it looks like left exhaust port is worse
