Smoke

Huff94 · January 25th, 2012, 08:04 PM

when starting the car cold a shitload of smoke comes out of the exhaust and puts black marks on the ground..im thinking it might be the valve stem seals.what do you think.

Green_6er · January 25th, 2012, 08:21 PM

what color is the smoke? white, blue, etc?

Huff94 · January 25th, 2012, 08:25 PM

a little bluish

Huff94 · January 25th, 2012, 08:26 PM

and there is a lil oil on the threads of the spark plugs ( Valve Cover Gasket)

Green_6er · January 25th, 2012, 08:40 PM

your burning oil. i would look into the valve stem seals. sounds like they are gone.

Green_6er · January 25th, 2012, 08:40 PM

has the car done much sitting?

Huff94 · January 25th, 2012, 08:42 PM

not a lot of sitting just over night..how hard is it to change the valve stem seals

Huff94 · January 25th, 2012, 08:44 PM

im wanting to do some mods so when i go to change the valve stem seals, what else would be good to upgrade in that area?

Green_6er · January 25th, 2012, 09:11 PM

port and polish the heads and intakes, cam, any thing you can think of. and btw, you have to take the heads off to change the valve stem seals.

Huff94 · January 25th, 2012, 09:20 PM

really. i thought you just had to pull the valve cover

Green_6er · January 25th, 2012, 09:48 PM

lol not that easy.

Huff94 · January 25th, 2012, 10:01 PM

Using the "rope in the cylinder" or compressed air methods, you can change valve stem seals without pulling the heads.

yeah doing the compressed air is what i was going to do

xtreme 2 · January 26th, 2012, 11:45 AM

Yea you don't have to pull them, but depending on the mileage it could be a good time to change the head gaskets.

Do a cam, port the heads, upgrade valve train, all the fun stuff you normally just dream of...

Huff94 · January 26th, 2012, 12:24 PM

it has 240000 miles on it

xtreme 2 · January 26th, 2012, 01:41 PM

how is the compression? need to check that before you do anything else.

may be easier to just get another motor.

Huff94 · January 26th, 2012, 03:43 PM

compression is good. the car runs great. you wouldn't think it had that many miles by the way it runs.
