the motor was broke in so it wasent the first 300 miles but i did drive it home. do you think it would be seals and guides??? the smoke is changing. now sometimes it smokes at idle and it smokes like this.....
getting onit --- no smoke
in a shift- ----- big puff of smoke,then it goes away as soon as i get back on it
coming down from high rpm-----little smoke, step on the gas with the cluch in----- lots of smoke
car dosent smoke when its cold though and every body i talk to says the smoke would be there i=when it was cold then go away when it warms up if it was a valve problem.. the car was running ok after the cat-delete pipe but now its running horrible, when i drive it. any ideas are apprciated

 

Sorry to say, but yes, it sounds like bad valve seals or guides, & reguardless, of break in time, running ANY engine w/ a plugged exh.is NOT good for it..........hows your vac. gauge read @ idle, is it bouncing at all, cause thats a sure fire indicator of bad valve giudes.

 

a little movement in the vac reading at idle... automaticly means bad valve guides?????...........mine moves from like 21 to 20 to 21 at idle ...or with the air on 20 to 19 to 20

 

no movement in the guage. does this mean seals??? if i pull the head off and bring it to a machine shop will they be able to tell whats wrong with it or do they need it on the car?? also whiles its off i wanna port and polish it and maybe do some cams any body have this done yet?? how do you like ti?

 

When i say movement, i meant IRRATIC movement aka:jittering.

 

1 Fast; i'd have to say yea,........everthing sure is pointing @ the valve seals,.have ya pulled a spark plug?.how do they look?_______5________& is your breather/pcv system operating properly?, aka: no blockage/mis-routing. .P.S. i personally would just change out the valve seals myself, & have the head inspected by someone who really knows these engines well., & it can't hurt to get a second opinion, from the shop w/ the car running.

 

yea im gonna do that first and then im gonna buy the cams, springs and retainers and have it ported and polished but i wanna get 1 problem fixed first before i dump a lot more money in to the car ya no..
