My 93 JDM FD smokes heavily on decel only, from my research its my oil seals. My engine has no other problems and runs strong. I know that the engine has to be disassembled to replace the seals, but I am not able to afford it at the moment. I dont mind the oil consumption, its just the embarrasing smoke. Is there anything I could do to minimise it? Mabe thicker oil?

What I have been doing that helps, is to mash the clutch if decelerating from high RPMs to alow the engine to idle as the car slows.

It seems to be high vacum conditions (decel from high rpm) that sucks the oil leaked from the bad seals into the cumbustion chamber causing smoke. I think that if I could find some way to reduce vacum levels on decel, it would help.

What are your thoughts.

 

there is no "temp fix" that will help the smoking.

dont even try that high mileage oil crap that swells seals and o-rings..... that will make the smoking way worse over time and it'll just mask the fact that you still need a rebuild. if you have a 2nd car... drive it, save money for rebuild, and get the rebuild done.

no more smoke

 

I agree 100%.

There is no such thing as a temp fix for these cars or pretty much any car. You'll only make matters worse by doing so.

That being said, set the car aside and save your money while you drive another car for your daily routine.

 

Stay out of high rpms

 

Are you still running the PCV? It could have failed. If you have it deleted make sure you didnt cap off both nipples on the oil filler neck.

Also try removing the cap for the oil filler neck and see if that helps at all.

David's correct, most people assume the worst when this is actually the problem.
