i'm driven along, after about an hour of driven, i'm mindin my own business and out OF NO where, white smoke starts commin out the back. i figured it out: white smoke comes out when i rev above 4k. SUX, oil seal??? is it ok to drive? if i keep up with the oil. reason i ask is cause i have no money for a rebuild YET.

 

I think some of these gurus on here have said white smoke means it's burning coolant=water seal. Especially if the smoke has a sweet smell.

 

so is there any big CONS to still running the motor??

 

I had a bad cornor seal in my last motor... ran the **** out of it until it got REAL bad 10's of thousands of miles on it and just kept oil in it... but it sounds like you have a blow o-ring or a cracked rotor houseing... I would stop driveing it RIGHT AWAY and pray its a o-ring... white smoke= coolant blue smoke= oil black smoke= running WAY too rich....

 

There are two o-rings that are in the intake manifold. Maybe one or both finally gave way. They're cheap to replace.

 

you got that right! housing are damn expensive. luckily the race car's were ok after 3 racing seasons on it.

 

welllll **** then. i kinda have to drive it though, considering its my daily driver. i'll save every penny form now on out for a rebuild. I'm DEFINITALLY doin that myself, get an atkins kit on ebay, some tools and a stand and i'm set. hopefully early april thanx everyone
