My car was smoking REALLY bad, and i have been wanting to fix it for a couple of months now. now that i have 3 weeks off, i decided now would be a good time to rebuild it myself. i had no idea what was wrong with it, i didnt even check compression because i wanted to pull it out and rebuild it.
I have it all stipped down to the block and crank now. the oil rings were stuck to the pistons, but not completly glued, so i dont think that was the major problem, then i rememeberd, i never even looked at the head. i just took it off and set it aside because im going to let a machine shop mess with that. well, i tipped it up and it was all black,wet,sooty. maybe im just crazy, but arnt the exhaust valves supposed to be tan and look kinda burnt like the spark plugs? speaking of spark plugs, the plugs had about 1000 miles on them, and they were black, and wet and the carbon had almost bridged the gap on one of them. the top of the pistons were wet with oil.
i think the head is compleatly fucked. what i dont understand is, what happend? I drove it one day, and the next, it burnt so much oil i couldnt drive it.has anyone else had this happen to there car?
