Jeremy's (chilli7) 87 FC smokes when letting off the gas at high rpms (over 5500). Doesn't matter if it's under load (shifting) or not.

Smoke color is a bluish-gray. Any ideas?

 

Looks like he is burning oil. Getting close to rebuild time.

 

it's more of a grey color than blue

 

He just hollowed out the cat... could that have anything to do with it?

 

Did it smoke like that before he gutted it? It could have something to do with it, but if it happens frequently i think it's something more serious.

 

my 2cents might be oil. my car had the same problem but it happend when i turn on the car. so he is geting close 2 rebuild.

 

the only thing is that the motor has ~50,000km.. as claimed by previous owner

 

anyone?

 

Well if i recall more oil is pumped in around 5k rpm or so

When I rev my car past 5k blue smoke shoots out, if i hold it around 5-7k I'll leave a trail of blue smoke, never smokes otherwise except startup.

Doesnt quite look like that, I did see the smoke before when I had stock exhaust wasnt THAT bad, with the corksport exhaust (single) its more of a plume if i recall.

So maybe normal

 

When you get the blue smoke, how close to rebuild is it? I've always wondered that...
