Hello.
Sorry for my bad english My 7afe have been smoking blue smoke for some time now.. and the smell of oil is present almost all time (USE ALOT OF OIL!)... It smokes never when idle, only when i give it some trotle. i have been thinking it may be the Valve seals, but it might be the piston rings aswell... what is your opinion? |

A good way to tell if its your valve stem seals is to drive down a very steep hill. Keep your foot off the gas to generate vacuum for a few seconds, and then get back on the throttle. If it smokes as soon as you are back on the throttle, then you are seeing the oil that was pulled past the valve steam seal getting burned. Mine has started doing this recently and i have perfect compression and less than 5% difference on a leak down test.
It also helps to do this test when the engine is not fully warmed up. Once I am at operating temp, the symptom is less noticeable. This post has been edited by lagos: Jul 4, 2014 - 12:13 PM -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
