To start with, sry about the essay.

Hey. heres my story. I had a ls vtec and decided to go back to a gsr. got a gsr block and completely rebuilt everything. from bearrings to a valve job. The person who put the motor together had a problem putting on the new rings. he finally got them in the block but the rings hit the block a couple times while hitting them into the block. At this time i didnt have a valve job either. Well at this time i didnt get the vavle job and cars compression read 205 225 225 205. I was smoking blue a lil so we looked at motor again. Another compression test read 210 210 210 160. we pulled head off and the valves were not sitting right. we went and gave it a valve job and put everything back together. another test read 214 214 214 214. but now the car is smoking out the muffler. Smoke appears to be whitish. Its smoking really really really bad. like u cant see crap in ur rear view mirroe because of the smoke. Thought head was warped and head gasket wasnt sitting right so i pulled off head took it got resurfaced and put it back together and got a new head gasket. This crap is still smoking really really bad out the muffler. I looked closer to my muffler and they were pitch black and shiny. i wiped my finger on the pipe and it was thick black liquid. looked like oil and my oil keeps running low. wat the hell can be causing it all???


Please help. im so stumped.

 

Sounds like the head needs to come back off. Either way if you want to bring it to my shop, Ill take a look at it and we will figure what the issue is and go from their.

 

the heads not cracked, has a fresh resurface and all the valves r sitting right. y would it be the head? would oil quirters make this happen? im using 3 b18c1 and 1 b17 oil quirters. u dont think its the rings? something that has to do with the block? or something not as tight as it should i also have arp head studs with 3 torque stages at 30 60 80. headgaskey not sealing proper? also using a advanced head gasket. its a new kind they came out with. its blue...

 

i thought white smoke was coolant? cracked ringland on a piston bad valve seals? pcv setup malfunction could be alot of things...

 

sounds like a possible problem with a valve stem seals. do you know if new ones were even installed? lol Sounds like a dumb question, but you never know.

 

lol i was gonna say did they remember the valve seals but didnt want to be the one to ask that question just hoping that they didnt forget something like that

 

i had a bad problem with the valve stem seals on mine but they were letting oil past, not coolant.

 

Well There Is No Way They Could Let Coolant Through .... Unless Something Crazy Was Going On As Far As Cracked Head But Still Couldnt See That Happening

 

People Correct Me If Im Wrong
White Smoke = Burning Coolant
Blueish Smoke = Burning Oil
Black Smoke = Raw Fuel Or Too Rich Condition
But Alot Of People Confuse The Oil For Coolant Or Vise Versa...

 

that's correct
