My Dad and I worked 1/2 of Xmas weekend installin' a used 13B into my FC. It starts but there's a crap load of smoke that came outta the exhaust. it stopped for awhile, but now smoke comes from between the engine and tranny. it seeps into the interior as well. I read Floman's post about white smoke in the cold, and read replies it could be a broken apex seal.

It doesn't smoke much from the exhaust anymore, but the smoke still comes from where the clutch is at. any help/advice would be great. Im tryin' to get my FC runnin' well next Spring.

but I won't be workin' in it since I'm stationed away from him

thanks for any help

 

ive never swapped or rebuilt, just pulled, but i'd guess oil seals?

 

apex seal? not likely ...

is the clutch slipping?

 

rear main seal?

 

did you check your fluids..trans and engine..does the tranny shift ok?..guessin you got oil on the flywheel..hell i dunno..is it makin noise?..or it just smokes..is it in gear when it smokes or neutral..

 

it smokes when it's in neutral... no, there's no noise when it's running.

 

one time i thought the same thing was happening but i was leaking coolent from the thermestat housing right onto the turbo that and the shinny stuff that they put on the motor when you buy a jdm motor was burning off

 

well, durin' Thanksgiving or in Dec is when I'll see my FC again. More time to see it in Dec than in Nov. Any other ideas?
