What color smoke and when?, idle, on accel or what? Whats the smoke smell like to you?

jaym · 23-05-2005, 12:42 AM

its white smoke, was doin it all the time, now only when revs pick up, and its hard to say what it smells like it doesn't really smell

looks like the rings are no good..
where did you buy the engine?

If the cars auto check the vac module isn't stuffed. I know quite a few people who have bought engines due to a $35 part being worn out. When worn you can suck the trans fluid into the manifold.

rings would want to be good just got back from rebuild
its a manual,

Valve guides/seals maybe,have you done a compression check?

jonbays · 23-05-2005, 08:53 AM

white smoke? not blue or black?

Not sure about rings then.

Any possibility its sucking in auto trans or brake fluid from a stuffed vacum modulator or booster?

Maybe the oil control rings are upside down? I've seen it on a car once - pulled the head off and the dishes in the pistons filled up with oil on the starter. Took ages to get the oil out of the exhaust, too. Glad it wasn't my car or me doing the work.

mmm might check breaks as we changed master and booster when we changed motor

mr_efxr · 23-05-2005, 07:44 PM

It sounds like its burning oil. Could be a case of the rings by the sounds of it.

sounds to me like brake fluid disconnect the vacuum hose going to the brake booster and plugit up run the engine for 5minutes and see if it still blows white smoke.

If its oil, wouldnt it be blue smoke? I thought white was when water was gettin into the motor.

hmmmmm yeah possibly. I was just told once that if water got into the engine then the car actually smoked.
