So need to get some of you gurus to confirm some of my thoughts.
I just had a 2.5 inch OR h-pipe, Jegs 2 chamber and 2.5 inch tail pipes on 91 gt installed.
Car has been using a ton of oil, I mean like a quart about 200 or less miles of city driving. Prior to the exhaust it really only smoked when I got on it but didn't show visible smoke any other time.
With new exhaust, smoke is much more visible and more pronounced when in stop and go traffic. Doesn't seem to give off any when starting.
The lower intake is leaking in the back and when I got the car the upper intake had oil in it and egr plate was horrible in regards to moist build up.
I have noticed that it will give off smoke when I turn the corner as if the oil is shifting and entering the cylinder.
Is it possible that it is pulling oil in through the gasket on the lower intake and when I go around a corner the oil is more likely to enter the intake tract?
Things I have done.
Checked pcv valve and seems to be okay.
It has a new pcv screen.
What I have not done yet
Compression test
Leak down test
I am going to be pulling the intake and replacing the gaskets just wanted your thoughts. It honestly seems like rings but with it going through that much oil I would think the smoke would be significant all the time.
Thanks
