Before i go out and put my new valve cover gaskets in.. What else should i do? to stop the smoking out of exhuast and eninge? I've narrowed down the smoking valve covers and they smoke towards the back (closest to windshield).. Also, When i take off the covers.. Is there any maintenance i should do to the valves? LMK. This is going to be my first engine fix problem ever so i want to start off right.


BTW: My problem is smoke coming out of exhuast on start up and smoke coming out of valve cover areas..

 

is the smoke from the oil burning off the valve cover if so defiantly get some new ones and i don't think there's any way to service the valves from the top as far as the smoke out of the exhaust that could be number's of things valve guides piston rings or maybe its just dumping to much gas what color smoke is it

 

My smog pump doesnt have a belt on it and it seems like its frozen.. Could that be a reason why it smokes a bit out of the exhaust? Or am i wayyy off on my guesses?

 

sorry man im not so good with those i got rid of all that stuff on my car you dont need it were i live wish i could help you out more my guess is probably not but hopefully someone can be more helpful

 

Yeah.. Im about to go start on this cover gasket replacement.. I have a feeling the valve seals might be shot but i dont want to get to deep into the problem just yet.
