SiR_Richie Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 i was racing a car last night and i noticed when i ran it up to 8200 RPMs a cloud of white smoke comes out when i shift only. what does this mean?
SolLesHonda Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 Could be anything. Is it just when you shift ? Burning oil, your rings, could be a lot of things.
cranny Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 if its white smoke its not rings or oil for that matter. white smoke is usually normal or if its not normal its antifreeze burnin.
SolLesHonda Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 When oil bypasses the rings, you can actually put out white smoke. Don't try and tell me otherwise.
blackdelsol Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 I always thought blue or black smoke was oil burning. I know for a fact that it can be white, but isn't that usually coolant?
Timmythewop89 Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 yea um black smoke is carbon, meaning too rich of a fuel mixture. blue smoke is piston rings and basically the engine burning oil, and white smoke is either some liquid in the exhaust, or oil managing to make it into the exhaust, and burning on the hot surface.
SiR_Richie Posted February 18, 2006 Author Posted February 18, 2006 its just when i shift, also my plugs some times get coverd in oil, but i think thats cuz i have warped gaskets on the valve cover. ive got replacements just not time!!!
90IntegraC1 Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 oh my bad, it was the real dumbass b16a3 wasn't it. how come a3's pic at the top of his profile is a red del sol, but the one he "flipped 4 1/2 times" was blue? i still don't get it...

SiR_Richie Posted February 18, 2006 Author Posted February 18, 2006 i flipped the one 4.5 times. he wrecked my current one, but it has a salvage title anyway so any clues?
blackdelsol Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 and the one in b16a3's avatar isn't his. it has a fmic, so it obviously isn't his, and plus it is on a google search.
SiR_Richie Posted February 18, 2006 Author Posted February 18, 2006 no crap, he is dumb like that. where do you think he got it. hmmm i wonder?
SiR_Richie Posted February 19, 2006 Author Posted February 19, 2006 got the gaskets replaced cross your fingers for me and hope it works. even though the car is on ebay!!!
BigBirdSucks Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 VTEC Hondas have a habit of shooting smoke regardless of how well it's kept. it's not hurting anything, though.
CleanGSR Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Yeah, mine shoots some smoke through vtec when I take it to redline. Completely normal
SiR_Richie Posted February 19, 2006 Author Posted February 19, 2006 OK, I WAS A LIL WORIED; THANKS!!!
