Oil Rings

cali 5.0 · November 20th, 2006, 08:36 AM

i've got an 89 gt and this morning its hella cold and i went to start it and their was smoke as expected but the passenger side smoked really bad.. but i didnt think anything of it so when i hit the gas a few times there was a lot of oil lookin shit shot out of the pipes and now its all over my street now.. its about as long as the h pipe almost..the stuff shot right out of the both tailpipes, but the thing is tht it looks like unburned oil...
I think the oil rings are gone but y does the oil look unburned or could it be carbon mixed with water...

I've got bbk equal length headers, off road h pip and bassani catback exhaust

Its probably valve seals or guides.

agree with the seal and guide thought, but it could be the water/condensation collected in the exhaust. A common thing when the temps start to dip down and your set up runs really rich when cold

i agree wit darrell.. but condensation wouldnt cause for black water, and im sure thts were my oil has been goin.. after high speeds on the freeway the oil gets low i jus put some in a week ago and its gonna need some soon

condensation in the exhaust can mix with the carbon buildup inside the muffler, and when you mash the gas, the watery carbon mix blows out a liquidity soot mixture all over everything. But if you are clearly using oil, the yes, seals or guides

If its burning oil it will be blue smoke not black.
