smoke....damn??? nervious!!!

ok put this car together. and i get blue/white smoke only when i let off the throttle, other wise its just a hare smoky due to the mix and no emissions. my friend said it might be the oil control rings. what do you guy's think>> need input<<< well my only thought is can i just replace the oil control rings and do a > race port at the same time<<<< can do the porting --have toolss.. but is that the only thing it could be.. the engine runs stong- holds idle-good boost-rebuilt turbo. 25000 on healthy 13b-s4-TII. just that damn smoke.. makes me nervious as hell.. should i run it for a while to see if it goes away. or take this opportunity to port and make more power while taking a peak at the inside.. sorry i'm drunk and rambling(jumbled info)..... come on i want real input,.....


thanks in advance..

There ya go. Get a Jspec and rebuild it. No down-time that way.

I'd say reasonable would be 6-800 for a good, clean, high-compression example.

Sorry, I'm not up on the best sources. I remember seeing lots of posts here & there though, where people have mentioned all sorts of different places.

Maybe the supply is back up now. The dockworker's strike stuff put a dent in it for a while, but I'll bet everybody's pretty well restocked by now.

I didn't read all these, but maybe an answer in there somewhere.

Also might want to keep your eye on thepartstrader and all the wanted/sale sections.

So- the side oil rings are worn.
If you are as cheap as I am you can look at it this way: These engines were designed to burn a little oil.
That way you're still on the road while preping up a J-spec.
When it becomes a smoke screen, then you gotta fix it.
