still smokin
i posted awhile ago bout my lude smoking... and somebody told me to flush out the motor... well i flushed it out and it kinda quit smoking.... but now its doing it pretty bad... it has 175tho on it, yea i know its alot, and there could be alot of things worn out in there... i really dont know what to do! i love this car and NOTHING is messed up or brokin in it ..its in really good condition..but the motor is messed up
 ! there is no way i could handle a rebuild, nor do i have the funds to support that idea.. i am 15, and work with my dad now and then but it doesnt pay enuf for that.. i could save over the summer and probably have the $$ to do a swap.. but i cant see myself putting that much money in a 15 almost 16 year old car! plus i dont know if i could handle a swap eather!! if anybody has a idea or comment, (or know a place whare i could get a engine for cheap let me know) please help me with this! i was going to start driving it, (cuz i am sick of driving around in my moms minivan,and trust me it sucks) but i have to get it inspected for emisions,and i know with it smoking like it is, it will never pass! please tell me what to do, i am on my own on this one so PLEASE HELP! |

my guess is that the rings are gone. a new set of rings will run you 100-150 plus the main and rod bearings another 300. it can be done.

are you low on coolant? it could also be a blown head gasket and coolant is leaking into your exhaust.

from coolant the smoke should be white not blue. but the head gasket is a possiblity. anyway if he decides to rebuild it he needs to replace the haead gaskets and all other gaskets.

you can tell a lot from the condition of the plugs..
If you can post a very good pic of each plug, we may be able to help you a little more.
