i recently pulled a motor from my cousins car i know it was becoming a smokey motor but it wasnt really bad i finshing droping it into my car and started it (after filling fuilds of course but i went to check the oil level because the oil light was flickering and it read nothing. and the car is extremly smokey for the first min then it goes away once its warmed up , its only really smokey for cold starts, like really really bad looks like my car is on fire.

 

No external leaks anywhere? Did you check plugs for excess oil buildup?

 

i did at first but not lately. i dont see any leaks my driveway is pretty clean.could it be just fried OCR seals?.... his motor had SS oil lines that got pulled hard in the wreck and started to leak but there was a crapload of oil in the motor when we drained it to put it in my crx

 

is it a s4 or s5 setup?

 

s4 withrats nestremoved and bypass throttlebody collant, removed OMP im premixing ,no air pump everythings capped of and imgetting a blobk off kit

 

What color is the smoke? It sounds like bad oil seals to me.

 

High idle test will confirm if it's oil control rings...

Minimum 20 seconds, hold the revs at least to 4kRPM.

im haveing a hard time getting it to idle i juss got it running, it idles like crap but thats no big deal,but when i drove it i hit the gas and suddenly my car started to rev itself to like 5 grand i dont know for sure if thatts cuz of the loose throttle cable i had but i reved it to like 8 (it didnt rev limitat like 7 sumtin just pegged out the tach and i didnt see much smoke there was a lil bit of smoke when id rev it up but not alot,its white smoke, and i have a question my timing is pretty off... could that be anything? or the wrong vacuum line that my FPR is hooked to? the car kinda bucks alittle in 1st but not alot and i tried 2 different MAFsensors

 

Didn't know that RETed, thanks.

 

well i did the 4k test and yeah i get some smoke but not alot.....
