oil problem

does anyone know what causes rx7s to smoke? i'm getting a lot of white smoke out of my rear rotor. i know this cause i've got a true dual exhaust system. also my rear rotor plugs are fouling out a lot. (about once every two days.) i take them out, clean them, and then the car runs fine for a couple of days but it still smokes alot. can anyone help, please???????

Do a compression check before you do anything else. Post your results.

im pretty sure its oil because it spits oil out of the exhaust and it doesnt always smoke. when it runs low on oil it doesnt smoke at all. i also burns oil excessively. then when i add the right amout it starts smoking.

what did you not understand about the two replies and doing a compression check???

Any reason you are bumping???? You have not done a compression check yet have you??? And bumps are forbidden here in the 2nd gen technical section, and yet you still do a "can anybody help?"


Get off your butt and check the compression instead of hopeing that someone will give you a miracle cure... you have a dieing motor.
