Smoke when cold
My car is blowing grey smoke when its ideling and also when u drive off when the engine is cold, but once its up to operating temp the smoke just goes away, compression test is 120psi on all cylinders, could it be valve stem seals or is this just an inherent issue with forged pistons? Thanks.

Valve stem seals.
Most likely valve stem seals...
I had this problem a few monmths back.....changed them valve stem seals (which were still in perfect health) and it actually turned out to be a blown turbo....
Turbo rebuild later, it is all good again...but still doesn't seem to come on boost as strong as it used to.

Re: Smoke when cold
Grey smoke sounds like it could just be running rich , white smoke would be more along the lines of stem seals.RiceThief wrote:My car is blowing grey smoke
Jeez all this sudden interest in smoking cars :o
I'd check for cigarette butts. Thet'd be a dead giveaway if its smoking. Or smell its intakes. You should be able to smell the nocotine.
Hope that helps.

Never argue with an idiot, it brings you down to their level and they beat you with experience.
