WTF oil on exhaust port?
1 Attachment(s)
Where is this oil coming from??? Above it is dry so I don't think it is from the valve cover. No drips, just what you see. It is on all 4 cyl.
Fresh motor... maybe 50 miles on it. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1348617957 |
Weird. My head does that, but it just comes out as smoke, you can't see it until you take the manifold off and see the slightly oily valve stem. Is there smoke?
|
Smoke after decel once I open the throttle back up. Quite a bit of it. Pretty sure I did a shit job re-building my T25. New valve seals and a shop built bottom end make me suspect the turbo or PCV as well. I do have an exhaust leak but I thought it was on the manifold-to-turbo side (Fuckin gasket)
who knows. |
It's coming from your blown engine.

No No hustler this car has a turbo... you wouldn't understand :rofl:

I personally have good luck with rebuilt heads (previously mentioned stem leak head has a lot of track abuse on it), but I know a lot of people have had bad luck with shops rebuilding heads. Don't rule it out. The smoke on decel sounds more like what you said, PCV or turbo seals. Although I used a Gpopshop rebuild kit on mine with great success. And mine smokes on start up, after it's had a chance to sit and seep through the leaky #4 valve seal. Decel smoke sounds like a recently rebuilt engine with lots of compression sucking past a dying PCV valve. Replace that first if you haven't already. Can you suck on it? |
I am going to replace/test it and see. I am still just confused on how the oil would be forming around the port. I cant physically feel an exhaust leak from there, but then again I do have one SOMEWHERE so I am not sure.

:waits patiently for the post where he finally replaces the bad oil rings:

LoL hustler easy... I never claim to be fast. My Turboed shutbox with me driving isn't even hitting spec times at limerock.
I'll do a leak down to shut everyone up on the motor issue... But no one has helped me figure out why oil would form OUTSIDE of my manifold. |

Makes sense. I just figured it would be a large exhaust leak if oil was also able to wick up. I will first test the PCV and then get my hands on a leak down. Because the smoke comes when I open back up the throttle plate I really suspect its my turbo. I just really don't think(and hope) a professionally built motor would have ring or valve seal issues
Thanks for the answer |
-compression came in at 190-195 all around (supertech 8.6:1)
-charge pipes are bone dry. -disconnecting the PCV hose from the IM and running a breather did nothing. My PCV is leaking though... so thats probably not helping I still need to do a leakdown to CONFIRM its not the rings, but right now it looks like its either the valve seals (brand new) or the turbine. I suspect its the turbine because I had a hell of a time rebuilding it this time. The brass bushings were .001" oversized in my kit so I re-used my old ones (measured within spec). I also took my oil ring off the turbine side of the shaft only to realize I didn't have a replacement. I am not happy with how it went back on. I think THAT is the failure point. CHURBO next year. for now I will probably continue to puff smoke while I pass emissions on the stock ecu/maf/inj/exhaust, etc. |
What rebuild kit did you use? My gpop shop had awesome bearings and multiple rings in case the first one didn't fit.
|
gpopshop. Never had an issue previous times with the brass bushings...but this time I mic'd them way oversized. I tried installing them and literally would have had to press them in. As for the oil ring, I might have a pic of which one it was, but there wasn't a similar one in the kit.
Either way, I am not crying about an upgrade. |
your fresh motors fuked yo
i hope it is not built cus if so it doesnt deserve a log and t25 of fail |
LOL thanks Fae. Yes its built. It needed a rebuild and eventually it will see more than a log mani and t25.
Motor is fine, turbo is fucked, you guys are all bullies. . . lol |
lol at homofag. :bowrofl:

First I need to torture my motor by more or less going to stock to pass emissions... Then I will treat her well.
