hi guys im having a problem with my car smoking. when i rev it or just driving normally it blows a lot of smoke. i have just recently replaced the valve stem seals because we thought it was that but it has mad no difference i was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if so how did you fix it

[samboy1123]

Blue smoke I'm assuming? How do the plugs look? If you have access to a compression tester that would be a good start.

[harry loane]

yes its blue smoke haha
and i have done a compression and the compression is fine

[JrZook]

How worn are the actual valve stem guides?

[harry loane]

not that bad but i put new ones in because i had them

[JrZook]

Did you replace the guides and seals?

[harry loane]

valve guide seals i brought a vrs kit and did eveything in that

[jono165]

There's the valve stems seals which are what you have replaced. What jrzook is suggesting is the metal sleeve that the valve stem rides in has excessive wear which could also explain you oil consumption.

Is the blue smoke more when cold on initial startup or worse at high revs? The pistons rings/bores could also be excessively worn. A compression test won't give the full story. There's a few rings and the compression rings may be fine but the oil control ring may be worn or stuck.
How many kms are on the engine?

[harry loane]

yer ok im not sure on how many ks the engine has because it not the origional the car has 197

[foolsp33d]

going through much oil? any odd noise's?
proably be worn or a broken oil ring.. as a guess..
In a similar situation myself at the moment wondering which route to go with a rebuild.

few threads on smokey motors when you search

[harry loane]

It dose go through a bit of oil that's what we are thinking now it must be oil rings so I think I might get one of those eBay rebuild kits what are they like do you know?
