i pulled up at my house today and i noticed smoke coming from under my hood. i popped my hood and the fitting on the back of the valve cover that alot of people put them little filters on and i have one too was covered in oil and smoke was coming out there. can anyone tell me why? and i noticed smoke coming out of my exhaust. so any info would be appreciated.

Ummm filter on valve cover = rice..... and smoke always comes out of the exhaust why should yours be any different...

[boostedb16]

thanks for comment. i did not ask was my car rice. i asked why there was oil on my little ricy filter and why smoke was coming from that whole and when that started i noticed smoke coming from my exhaust. so learn to read.....................

[EmminoDaGreat]

Usually those filters get soaked in oil, and the excessive heat will cause it to burn and smoke, what color and when was the smoke coming out of the exhaust.

is the pcv working properly? If so, you should have draw through the valve cover vent, if not I hope it is not blow bye from the rings

I had that on my sr.

I had a blown ring.

However smoke never came out of my exhaust. Good luck with that sir.

ringmy b16 is doing the same thing. going with gsr pistons now

[Da_unknown]

^^^ smart man, b16 pistons suck for boost they dont last that long at all.....

[BlueHatch]

found that out two weeks in. boosted b16 look into topline pistons. gsr's are 40 bucks a piece and shipping was like 6 bucks got them next day. mainstream put me on to them. be sure to use honda rings though

Samething i was thinking,but i didn't want to go and wreck his day. That what happen to me too. Comp test will be the truth. Also if you put the motor under a harsh load like WOT and you hear pinging of some sort. For sure they are gone. Also is your car misfiring?

BTW, White Accord, the little filter on the valve cover = no more oil and shit going into your intake manifold to gum up your throttle plate, manifold, etc. SMOKED TAIL lights, especially on a white car IS RICE, didn't they quit doing that shit in the 80's, or is it to match your IROC-Z?
