Well.. bought the car with 27k on the clock.

Did a h/c swap at 32k. Car now has 34140.

At the time of the h/c swap, I thought that it would be good to start running Mobil 1. Well, now the car will not stop smoking.

At startup.. blue smoke and then no smoke for a while. Once the car warms up it smokes.

WOT no smoke... Get off the gas here comes the smoke and just continues to smoke at idle.

We figured that switching to the synthetic may have caused the problem so we did an engine flush, and went back to Castrol GTX 10W30.

The car is still blowing blue smoke at idle, but nothing while I'm giving it gas.

Is this a sign of bad rings or bad valve seals. Did switching to Mobil 1 after the H/C cause the valve seals not to seat properly or something.

Sorry this is so long, but I would appreciate any help.

This vid.. kinda shows the problem.. I thought that it was running rich when it was really just burning oil.

Blowing Blue Smoke

Before the H/C swap I used about 1 qt. every 2k miles..
Now 2qts within 900 miles

 

I believe that I've found the problem...

Did another compression check.. all the numbers are the same.. 145-150PSI on all cylinders.

However.. the #5 cylinder and #8 cylinders.. the plugs have a little oil on the treads and they weren't fouled, but the insulators were darker than all the other plugs.

This Sat. I will be installing new valve stem seals, new plugs, and a new set of coated Pacesetters that I got a great deal on. I'm so happy that I may have found the problem that I don't know what to do..

Thanks guys..

 

Where did you get the deal on the pacesetters at?

I got them from a person here on island.. I already have the Pacesetters, but mine are painted.

The person got rid of his car so he just needs to get rid of the coated ones that he bought.. and I got them for cheap.

 

Damn, why can't I get hooked up like that!!!!
