sir2 b16 in a ek coupe,

lead down test was good.

engine runs fine but:

when i turn the car hard left, white smoke pours out the exhaust everywhere, then eventually the smoke goes away, thinking i had a bad ring or messed up valves. i did another leak down test, (this was after 70 miles) the test showed even better resuilts so i dont think the headgasket is gone.

the head was pretty dirty, burnt oil,

is there any way that for some reason there could be water in the fuel tank?

or when i turn left the oil in the head goes one way and cant seep back down fast enough cand goes out the exhaust some how?

 

bump

 

bump fo sho?

 

your zislator is bad.

 

The oil is not draining out of the head fast enough. The head fills with oil and then gets sucked into the intake (through the breather) on left turns.

 

I had this problem on Porsche 914 I used to have. The motor is a boxer style flat four [two heads]. On left turns, the oil would rush to the right cylinder head and seep through the bad valve seals into the combustion chamber and smoke. I didn't know this was the problem until I blew the motor. Turns out the machine shop I had do the head job did a poor install on the new valve seals. I ended up dropping two valve seals in one cylinder, which then broke into pieces, welded themselves to the piston and combustion chamber, seized up the rings, and destroyed the head and one slug & jug.

 

what do i do to solve this then?

wow!! i wouldn't have thought about it....

have you seen this at work?? what are the causes? thick oil? bad oil drainings at the head? casting flaws??

 

i think its possible that it may be gunk in the head, the engine was pretty dirty in the head. but if that is it, i have 2 take the head off and prob clean it dont i?
