Help Needed!
Hi all, I'm new here, and this is my first post, I've just bought an AE86 and it's not in a very good shape, everything is stock, and it smokes like hell, u can see in the attached pic there is a green pipe from the valves cover droped down to the ground, it should be attached to the T-VIS, while the one from the T-VIS is blocked with a bolt, toke it to several mechanics and everyone has a diffrent reason why the engine smokes too much, some say the piston rings are locked, some say could be the valves, other than that it's all fine so far.

yer advice is appreciated.

as long as the green pipe is not blocked it will not cause it to be smokey! somebody just put that green pipe on to stop the oil from the rocker cover into the inlet manifold, its probably rings or valve seals thats causing your problem

I agree with ep71: most people re-route that pipe to an oil catch can so the oil can not enter the manifold anymore, but just dropping it on the floor is also a remedy. Wink

If the smoke is coming out of the green pipe then it's likely to be the piston rings.
If the smoke is out of the exhaust and worse when the engine is cold then it is likely to be the valve stem oil seals.

thanks guys,

so most of the mechanics said, probably the rings, will send it to the garage next week, and will take some pics and updates on the subject.
