started up the car to put it into the garage, and i noticed a wierd noise, kina like a hi pitched squeel for the belts but louder and it was constart, also i noticed some white smoke for them exhaust.

let the car warm up and shut it off, decied to check the plugs, pulled out cyd 1 plug and oil came squirting out with it, a lot like 1.5 cap full..

what can it be.?

symptons: white smoke light/constant squeeling hi pitched/ oil form cyd 1.

the rest of the cyld are fine..

only thing wired was that my wastegate is not holding constant boost and i spiked to 14psi on the hi way, but my a/f were at 11.6:1 and i let off right away..

my motor is bone stock, turbo is a 62-1 t4. i was on 8psi, before the wastegate faiur..

im thinking its the ring lands on cyd 1. but wouldnt that be blue smoke and wount i have oil out the breather?

or could it be the head gasket startng to fail. maybe the head lifted due to boost spike and let oil seep in? i dont knowsome one help me please..

Pull off your valve cover and take a look in there. It might've been the gasket that goes around the plug well. I had it happen on my eclipse before. If it's that, it's an easy fix.

so any suggestions im stuped, the compresssion is fine.. im more leaning toward a faulty head gasket, maybe it tore around a oil passage and let oil leak into the cyld?

whats wired is that when i was doing the comp test. i go no oil on the spark plug again when i checked it..

some one please help. i need to know whats wrong..

Well the smoke is probably your valves. If compression is fine then just check coolant and oil and don't go any long trips.

could it be a cracked ring land?but would that make me have low compression? also when i did the comp. test i didnt do it at wot. i forgot.. will that make that much of a difference?

when you say valves? do you mean i have a bent valve or something or slight stuck open?

Car needs to be WOT. Did you pull the VC and swap the gasket? Are you sure the smoke is white and not blue?
