rich fuel mixture can cause smoke. it could be loading up at idle

it is not a black, more of blueish grey i guess. how can i tell if i am running rich?, i dont smell any fuel.

Blue means your probably burning oil.

hey nice ride mike. does anyone know a good way to help oil consumption? i have used STOP SMoke crap in my other cars, but it just seemed to kill my gas mileage.

thanks man =)

does you car idle ok? or is it rough at all? Im guessing its running like a champ since you didnt mention poor idling. Usually oil comes in from bad piston rings or the head gasket. What octane fuel have you been running?

I would think that chances are its smoking all the time but when your going at any speed its just harder to see it.

I am assuming your talking about a stock KA24DE? If your talkin SR I would take a shot at saying the turbo seal thing-ma-bobs arent doing their jobs which im told happens often enough on the T25s.

Keep a close eye on your coolant level and color and your oil obviously since your burning it.

anyone else have ideas or corrections to my comment?

valve seals my new 91 project had the same prob at 200 thousand miles, now its got 30k,, you know what i mean,, any wan my 89 sohc did the same,at idle usually warm, the seals let a little oil throughand in the int and ex, the ex is ok but it burns and what not, and helps to clogg the rest of your exuast, but the int, goes in as a drop, sits on piston and soon as you hit bout 2k rpm its hot enough to burn it and ha,,,, smoke puff,, then all gone a while,,, anything else
