(score: 1): Author: Bill Saidel <saidel@camden.rutgers.edu>; Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2002 10:15:29 -0400; As I understand (not being engine experienced at all), blue smoke is oil. A blown head gasket means water gets into cylinders and becomes steam (ie., white smoke). You should have seen the white smo; /html/mgs/2002-08/msg01140.html (8,469 bytes)

Lots of oil smoke when pulling away after idling a while is often valve stems/guides/seals. Is it firing on all cylinders evenly?

Do a dry/wet compression test... Or even better, a leakdown test, but that takes more equipment.

Plugs from cylinder 1 & 2 looked normal, 3 & 4 looked a little oily (but not badly). Cylinder 2 pressure tested to; /html/mgs/2002-08/msg01221.html (8,559 bytes)

A head gasket is more likely to fail between 2 and 3 and hence cause two low readings. If the gasket has blown anywhere else I; /html/mgs/2002-08/msg01231.html (8,687 bytes)
