Smokin at 4500 rpm in 4th
 
Just like it says, probably been mentioned here before but my car smoked pretty bad this morning when I was in 4th at around the 4500 to 5000 rpm range, what causes this? Broken seals somewhere? Thanks for any help I can get

seals

Turbo or not? What colour smoke? Could be lots of things. Always start simple before you assume internal engine problems...

Mr. Cake is right!

Be optamistic when it comes to cars! It PAYS! Really!

...Ok, maybe not when buying them "Sure I can fix that up cheap!"

clutch slipping?:confused:

kevlar999 12-24-03 11:57 AM

Well its an n/a, and it has a new clutch in it since I just got it converted from auto. So..

At about 4500 to 5000 rpm in 4th, it shoots out a cloud of smoke out of the back, Kinda funny how pissed the people behind me get.

Hold the engine for about 30 seconds at 5000 RPM, then let off the gas. Clouds of smoke? Probably bad oil seals. :(

kevlar999 12-24-03 12:22 PM

Alright, i'll give that a try

Aaron Cake 12-24-03 12:23 PM

Take the oil cap off while you do it to make sure it's not just a stuck purge valve...Seen it before...

kevlar999 12-24-03 01:51 PM

Well on my lunch break, I put it in nuetral and rev'd it past 4000 for about 20 seconds and let go with no smoke comin out. Engine also had a rebuild (remanufactured by speedline where I live) plus its n/a so I can't see the oil seals going on it yet.. But who knows

kevlar999 12-24-03 01:53 PM

btw, where is the purge valve located? Is it internal?
