JDMtuning1 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Posted June 24, 2011 well im not joking it has been every colour ( blue , black , grey ) could it be the stem seal's? Quote
GlanzaJim Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 That's the only other thing it could be. Valve stems Quote
hill_bill10 Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 could be piston rings,the usual way of telling is if it only does it when cold its valve stem seals and if it does it all the time then its most likely piston rings Quote
Raz Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 wtf, mine smokes abit when its cold. Or it might be because its a hill and thats why it does it everytime i get to that part of the hill it starts smoking then when i put my foot down abit it clears up and is fine again, then couple of hours later same situation. and it will do it again in the exact same place. What gets me is why doesn't it smoke when driving on flat road, why only when its on the hill part. Quote
drew 007 Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I seen a gt smoking today and that turned out to be the pcv valve. worth a try?? Quote
bucketep91 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 how come every thread on here about cars somking theres always people just shouting out yeah its your valve stems, no its your piston rings, no its fuel cut . all your doing is making other people pick up on this and then they decide to say the same things in the next thread about a smokey car.no offence to anyone ,i know there are a lot of people in the know on here but its too hard to tell without having a look at the car. ITs ok to point people in the right direction but can you really give a diagnosis on a problem without seeing it or without getting a detailed description of the problem?it could be a whole host of things do a bit of research and start ruling things out 1 by 1 until you get to the bottom of it but because you have a little bit of smoke doesnt mean you have a major problem Quote
drew 007 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 ^^ I Know what you are saying but yesterday i watched a starlet gt smoking its bag off and 10 mins later and a new pcv valve it was like a new car again, i could of swore the seals had gone in the turbo. And the reason i said that was he isnt far from me so could try mine for free.But i agree with your comment buddy. Quote
JDMtuning1 Posted June 26, 2011 Author Posted June 26, 2011 The smoke get's worse i suppose ''/ but allot of people have said stem valve seals , would in not be cheaper if i just bought a new engine .. ? Quote
drew 007 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Listen to what bucketep91 has said to you dude.. Quote
drew 007 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Do you know who you bought your engine off?? where they a genuine kind of guy?? did you know the engine run sweet before you bought it dude?? Quote
JDMtuning1 Posted June 26, 2011 Author Posted June 26, 2011 its the sme engine that was in the car when i had it it was off idree's i knew it was a non runner when i bought it yeah. Quote
drew 007 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 its the sme engine that was in the car when i had it it was off idree's i knew it was a non runner when i bought it yeah.i need some help the car is going through a glanza conversion......You have lost me dude, sorry.. Quote
bucketep91 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 my comment wasnt aimed at anyone, just in these types of thread in general. People always come out with the worst case scenario.i wouldnt just swap it over for a enw engine right away. are there any members local to you? maybe ask if they could swing by for a wee look at it?hope its nothing too serious buddy Quote
JDMtuning1 Posted June 26, 2011 Author Posted June 26, 2011 i meant a glanza replica my baddits still got the 1.3 N/A in it Quote
Jamie1st Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 i meant a glanza replica my baddits still got the 1.3 N/A in it So it's not got a 4efte engine in it, or having one put in?Jamie Quote
drew 007 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 No mate what i get is he has bought a N/A starlet and he has bought another 4efe engine and just putting that back in the starlet..He has just worded it wrong...? Quote
GlanzaJim Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 to be honest some kid on here said if it is your piston ring, you can check by takin out the oil stick and rev. if it pumps smoke out of the dipstick hole its the rings. i even went to a garage and he said thats 100% correct. Quote
