Dubsingh 0 Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 hi all today i been driving around no problems....till i decided to overtake a gaggle of cars bloking a lane and i had loadz of blue smoke(did rev quite high into the range).....overrun??????????? when i started driving normal it was okeven after stopping at lights after this it was still smoking...have i broken something?.....i do get blue smoke at cold start not sure if its oil stems seals or charger putttin oil into the system??????this is the first time this has happened Link to post Share on other sites
Nerih 0 Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 v1's pretty solid man, at 6 psi its not even bothered by nuthin. you could easily check the inlet for oil....if there is u know its charger...doubtful tho.might wanna look in to stem seals or maybe its just running rich on the overrun and full throttle..normal tbh...mine smokes when i floor it too (and our set up is pretty similar) Link to post Share on other sites
Dubsingh 0 Posted May 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 true might be the hot weather too...but it was blue smoke....and it carried on smokin while stood still at the lights.....i do have a straight thru system tho...not cat..... and my crank case breather is a long pipe just feed into the chassis leg.....

Dubsingh 0 Posted May 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 oh shit...what even when warmed up and cannin it.....how much that cost to get put right? Link to post Share on other sites
wayne_1@tiscali.co.uk 27 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 never fixed it just drove it around as it was smoked only when i gave it some but i had another engine that i had built so thats going in instead but i think its a head off job so u might aswell go stage 2 u can get it done for about 600-700 plus head gasket and fitting it back but if its not that bad dont worry about it mine was doing it for 2 yrs and charged didnt give me no probs Link to post Share on other sites
Nerih 0 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 since you mention the c/c breather. Have you seen how much smoke comes out of that thing when its at full throttle? i hope you got an air filter on it . dubsingh what mileage is ur engine at? Link to post Share on other sites

petervr6 0 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 use some locktight on the treads when you put them back in if the valve stem seals are gone it will smoke more when hot Link to post Share on other sites
