speedfreek09 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 sounds like your piston rings are shot, either that or bad valve seals you have blow-by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedfreek09 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 sorry about that nevermind about the valve seals thats probably not it, blow-by is when your piston moves up in the block and the rings cant hold the pressure, thus causing air to spill out of the breather, oil is burnt in he cumbustion chamber and thats where the smoke comes from one more thing it could be though is the pcv valve, much cheaper to replace, try it first yours might be clogged thus causing the same reaction, any parts store sells them even wal-mart has them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
