I've goth the same dproblem with mine has just started doing it!
Where's the best place to buy new one from????

mine did similar too - luckily it was under warranty and was fixed free of charge... turns out that the brand new stem seal had hardened right up - must have been a bad batch or something.

i can't stand having leaks, or smoke personally - its embarrassing and an easy way to draw attention from the police. Of course, if its only on startup its not so bad, but still, the OCD in me would want to get it fixed =)

Suzistore probably didn't do it an charged you for it mate.

they don't do their own head work, they send it out... when they failed, they sent it back to the guy who did it who said he'd not seen stem seals harden like that before, replaced them and sent it back.

don't be such a hater =)

Yes - 5 seconds for sure. Mine will smoke almost continually until there's some heat in the motor to burn it off, then it's clean as a whistle. It also depends where in the cycle the engine is when it's parked. Sometimes you'll get almost no smoke, sometimes heaps.

Steve.

Might go and buy myself some new seals and have a crack installing them, if anyone has done them please let me know if theres any cheats???

I'd be inclined to take head off, drop it at a machinist, get him to pressure test it, replace the valve stem seals, valve grind if required, and clean it in the acid bath.

you get it back a few days later, throw it back on with a new VRS kit, clean everything meticulously while the head is off.

And then youve got yourself an engine that top half is in 100% condition.

From learning the hard way.. dont do it half arsed..
I recently got a motor and fitted it on the word it was a good runner..(yet to fix the fella up for it.. and actually considering taking it out and returning.. a fucked motor is of no use especially when I need it as the zukes my daily!!)

Kicking myself.. should of just done a full rebuild on one of the others I have around.

Unfortunately my smoke isnt only just at start up..

My guess is rings.. gets some serious back fires upon deceleration, and obviously the smoke upon acceleration and under load..
(the tapping is as the camera rattles against the passenger mirror)

if anyone has done them please let me know if theres any cheats???

Lol, yeah camera is pointing backwards... and I am running a side exiting exhaust... the tip, barely visible in front of the rear wheel...

acceleration isnt blistering.. but wouldnt say its bad either. it does get a bit of a hiccup and misfire when around 3.2k on the freeway. idle is eratic.. one set of lights, will need to keep your wits about you, as it drops and stalls out, the next set.. will sit a touch under 1k..

original price was 300.. but had to remove the engine from the donor vehicle in 35+ heat, and after lending them a hand with removal of other items gearbox, rear diff, wheel spacers(bastard to get off on a removed diff).. came to 250.

Yeah thought so, so thats where the exhaust terminates... Ah ok, well $250 is a pretty good deal, even if it needs a bit of work... sounds like the carby is playing up, needs a carby kit, or an exchange carby...

Yeah.. exhaust exits infront of rear wheel.. as per photo..

just a bugger thats its so smokey.. Guess its rebuild time.. rather than just slapping a set of rings in it.. hard choice as the one that came out just needed new big end bearings(im assuming-was knocking)

sucks learning the hard way.. Quick fixes are NEVER quick.. or cheap!

Carby wise.. Iv still got my 4k carb on the old engine.. chances are that will make its way onto whatever ends up staying in the zuke.. Stockers have to much going on with them for my liking.
