PWG123 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) Went too a arranged Sunday cruise drive yesterday. And as I was on my way, after playing with a integra type R I notice smoke was coming from my exhaust after being at idle got about 30 seconds. Engines running fine and haven't lost any boost, dosent smoke on boost or start up. Just after boosting and sitting at idle for 20 - 30 seconds.Thanks Edited April 14, 2014 by PWG123 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 either turbo seal or valve stem seals easyiest way to check is to remove exhaust manifold and see if theres oil residue in any of the ports in the head Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PWG123 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Yeah I was thinking along the same lines tbh. Although theirs no smoke when turbo spools. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 just do the above and u will have ure answer dude.both are quite likely to happen , and neither are to bad to fix.you DONT have to remove head to do valve stem seals and a turbo rebuild kit are feck all on ebay .

PWG123 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Ok well that's good news that the head doesn't have to come off. I'll check it later and if it's got oil in the ports. I'll do it this weekend. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 yeap let me know how u get on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Turbo wouldn't smoke when being used if it was the seals buddy, would smoke on overrun and when on idle after being used. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PWG123 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Turbo wouldn't smoke when being used if it was the seals buddy, would smoke on overrun and when on idle after being used.that would explain the smoking after boost then. I'll order a new turbo seal kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PWG123 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 yeap let me know how u get onjust booked the rest of week of work. I'm convinced it's turbo seals as it only does it after boost. But I'm going to do both.How do you compress the vavle stem seals with head on? Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 with regards to the valve stems its best to feed rope through the spark plug hole and fill the cylinder up whilst its at bdc then by hand crank the engine up to compress the rope gently.this will hold ure valves in.

mikey4410 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 yes mate. first I would disconnect battery so theres no chance of the engine turning over whilst rope is in any cylinders as this would be disastrous. then like I say when u cant get anymore rope into said cylinder u turn the engine very carefully with a spanner and just lightly compress the cylinder.this will hold valves in place.confirm u cant press them down at all before u go removing collets and springs otherwise ure goin to be starting a HUGE job of taking the head of etc.best of luck dude.been done many times before and if ure unsure always google it or maybe dont do it .
