Re: Oil Smoke - Input Needed
I had the left catalytic converter go on my 1990 #0308 you say it's on the right side when my cat went it made the exhaust white the left bank often had a white to gray look to it compared to the right side well before the big white out in hindsight this was the cat just starting to go bad did noy know enough about the cars then had a steep learning curve after that.
Justs a thought l wonder if the headers are making more vacuum in the exhaust port and pulling the oil down the guide dose the oil smoke clear after you drive of my car can blue smoke when I decel hard thought the gears you see the oil smoke in the rear view mirror once the smoke clears from the decel you don't see it again the engine doesn't use alot of oil I think the reason the oil smoke can take a few seconds to clean is that it's in the exhaust port and exhaust not always in the combustion chamber so once back on the gas the oil burns of I need to put my gopro back there and film it to see if the engine smoke under hard acceleration just an idea hope this can help put your mind at ease I will be rebuilding #308 engine soon as I would like to put it back in the car as the engine in the car is #3026 and was rebuilt and dynoed and shipped to NZ by Doug Rippy back in 1995 It was never run till I got it going in 2017 Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk |
