smoking!!!

[Rocker]

ok well me and my cousin rebuilt my boys gsr motor new rings new valve seals every gasket new.... the old motor popped and we took it out and rebuilt it.. ok well long story short is we get the motor back in we break it in i guess u cud say the " correct way" but now the motor seems 2 smoke when were on it and alotttt wen we engage vtec... i did a compression check and each cylinder has 220 psi..... if im burning oil and still have compression where cud this b coming from.. Blow by? pcv? rings? valve guides?? idkk and its pissin me off car still runs hard no mis fires no Cel's nothing car runs perfect... just smokes like a bandit wen it wants 2.. sometimes no smoke... or very liltle .. plz ctv help a brotha out!!!!!

repull ur motor apart, and look at ur piston's you'll see your ring lands broke. i had same problem after rebuildin my gsr, took it apart and 3 piston's were cracked at the ring lands which makes it smoke a bit. the crack's were small enough i barely noticed them, but it was enough to make my car smoke. hope this helps, goodluck

i was thinking the same thing... maybe the gap was fucked on the rings after ? cuz i never checked clearnce on the rings.. maybe i shud do that next time.. total seal rings here we come!!

u made sure ur rings werent lined up rite the gaps? and did u have a machine shop cut and fit your rings? i rebuilt my motor, and thats when it smoked. ( this was after it blew ) i took it all back apart in a few hrs and took all my pistons out, 3 out of 4 had cracks at the piston lands and those were the 3 i didnt replace. is there a lot of blow by that comes out of ur valve cover breather? if so thats exactly what mine did lol

my compression test read 190-90-190-210. mind u, 3 of my pistons were broke yet they still read fine on the compression reading. now that i switched em there all at 220 and the motor's running healthy no smoking nothing.

[Rocker]

the ring gaps arent lined up lol and no machine shop cut and fit the rings .. FAIl on my part... but the compression is 220. 218 , 222. 220

Re clock the piston rings and make sure that your pcv system is correctly hooked up

[Rocker]

Pcv hOoked up right !!! We goin take the motor apart this weekend :/ well c what happens

[94eg4dr]

same thing happened to me but my compression was low in cyl 3...took motor apart and found all ring lands cracked...i changed my pistons,rings honed cyl walls and new rod bearings running hard with no smoke now...possibly same problem going on rip it apart and see whats going on and def clock your rings good luck

[boostedcrx]

like i said i bet $$ its his piston lands

[ManTyme]

if your rings were shot b4 the rebuild you could have got oil in your EXHAUST! happened to me b4 its burned out after a while hope its this since EVERYTHING IS REBUILT like you say

[Rocker]

I was thinking exhaust but def not been a couple months still smoking .. Cracking the motor back apart soon im
Gonna go with the piston lands too, def think they have to b the culprit .. So prolly a new set of rods an pistons an total seal rings ....
