get go smoke

[angels7113]

Now this isn't big enough to see from the driver seat, but a friend told me when i punched the gas a small cloud of smoke comes out of the exhaust. He said it wasn't alot and the smoke was a lighter gray and not to dark. I was just a little concerned when i heard. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

88-91 civics don't burn oil...problem sounds like u just caught it...can lead to some real serious damage if you don't get that fixed right away...

then that means he's gonna need a serious rebuild or mabey even a new engine

most likely valve seals, they are pretty common

ok folks your making this seems alittle bit bigger then it truly is. sure it could be valves or seals dont get me wrong im sure its a old engine. but when you romp on the gas a small cloud will come out becuase your taking a regualr flow through the pipes and then when you get on it its putting out mroe exhaust so its gonna force more exhaust out at once.

valve guides

I have this problem too but only when i peel off where i get some blue smoke. I know i burn oil. Haven't done a compression test yet but what do you guys think? Valve seals?

seriously...seein smoke out of your exhaust isn't normal...take it to a mechanic and get a rebuild or do a swap

seriously its not that big of a problem. sure it didnt smoke when the car was new like 13 year ago. But motors start to wear down and burn alittle bit of oil. My 89 si smoked like champ and still drove perfectly fine and pulled nice until the day I crashed it. I really wouldnt worry about it. Add some lucas next time you do a oil change. Dont let blu scare you, he doesnt know what hes talking about anyway LOL jk.

Besides hondas are known to smoke at WOT anyway.

[jeef]

yeah really... unless your car is getting engolfed in it don't worry about it

is it wrong to have a lil fun once in a while

[livinincalifornia]

[angels7113]

well it's not the stock motor it's a b16 swapabout 4 months ago if that makes a difference. another thing is i'm having a little trouble with the o2 sensor would that cause anyproblems?
