Temporary fix for bad oil control seals. (reduce smoke)
 

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.

for first gens we use Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer. a few members have had bad oil control rings and have had success with this product. you can search for the thread with the product name

Mine was throwing out smoke screens that would make James Bond jealous whenever I would let off the gas. Started using a quart or two of Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer with every oil change and it was reduced to nearly nothing. Give it a shot...
