strange oil burning symptoms
the set-up: z6 with eagle rods and vitaras with about 1500 miles on the build, still running my old t25.
the problem: after decelerating in vacuum, my car will burn oil for a few seconds. i thought it might be the pcv, so i plugged the port on the IM and just let the valve vent to the environment. at first this fixed the problem, but then the car started burning oil all the time. i reconnected the pcv and now its back to how it was before- only burns oil after a deceleration in vacuum. any ideas? |

I want to say it's the turbo seals. It's the turbo seals. I always get what I want.

EDIT: Really, I don't know and never expierenced it yet (thank God), but don't blown seals spit mad blue smoke out of the exhaust constantly and more less in boost NOT off the throttle. :-\ Right? JP |
Re: strange oil burning symptoms
Haha.
I've had that problem, but with everything else wrong with the car I really never bothered to figure it out. |

You have your PCV hooked up normally?

Re: strange oil burning symptoms
I did the same thing with my PVC that hondan00b did.

Re: strange oil burning symptoms
why is everyone so quick to blame turbo seals or blame the pcv system?
smoking in high manifold vacuum conditions usually means intake valve seals.. |
Re: strange oil burning symptoms
Don't run the PCV system stock... and don't just plug it. Pressure buildup in the crankcase HAS to go somewhere.... Run it like mentioned above.... mine goes into a mountain dew can :p. Allow the crankcase to release pressure.

Re: strange oil burning symptoms
i had my valve seals replaced also but by a shop when they worked on my cyl head.. i just took a look when i was about to adjust my valves and a few valve seals actually came out of place and are sitting half way up the shaft on the valves.. so just cause you replaced them does not mean they are ok.
your problem could be something else dont get me wrong, but oil buring in high vacuum does usually mean valve seals.. |
