6G Celicas Forums

VERY COMMON PROBLEM.... my 1994 celica st with the 1.8L has the same problem. The valve guide seals go very easily and have to be changed. My bro and i are about to do it in my car. They arent hard to change just time consuming and i wouldn't recommend a first time wrench to do it yourself.

the pcv is fine and working, we checked that first, also i would like to point out the the spark plugs are clean and normal.

Hi guys saw this forum and thought i would ask you,

Ok here it goes, i have a 1994 celica, with the 4 cylinder engine. Not to long ago i started to notice alot of smoke on intial start-up and soon after it smokes when i drive. Now it seems like it is spitting oil out of the exhaust when it starts. My bro and i checked the spark-plugs, compression (165 all accros not sure if thats normal but they were all equal). We checked other things but he knows more than i do. If you have any tips or questions about what we did post and ill find out. I have also read other forums and people say it is the valve guide seals, but is spitting oil a chacterist of bad valve guide seals? Thanks and plz Help!
