|
|
This past weekend i started my car for the first time after doing an efi conversion with an ecumaster ecu. It ran pretty well but still needs some tuning on a dyno.
However, there is quite a lot of blue smoke coming from the exhaust, to the point where its to much to even really start driving it. The smoke is there when idling, and when i push the throttle, even more smoke appears.
What do i do to find out where its coming from? I already verified that its not coming from the crankcase breather, so i am guessing its either piston rings, engine block or valve seals. Maybe headgasket leaking oil internally??
I did a compression test about a year ago, with 10,5 bar on all cilinders.
So far the engine has ran for about 20 minutes, and the smoke is still there, i am kind of hoping there is just a lot of dirt/oil in the exaust and it will clear up a bit with some more idling and maybe some driving. But if it does not clear up, whats my next step to see what causes the smoke? |

Compression test, then if relatively similar, a leak down test which will determine the next step.
Obviously firstly check that all pipes/hoses are connected where they should be and you haven't introduced an issue with your EFI conversion. _________________ 80/81 932/8 ROW |
