new guy with a smoking problem from exhaust
HI I have been lurking for awhile but now i am in a pickle. I have a 1992 LsL that smokes like a beast out of the exhaust. I took the manifold off cleaned it and installed a new pcv valve and vacume lines and it still smokes I also changed the oil and spark plugs and ran codes, the dip stick pops up too. There is also a popping sound comming from the exhaust when acclerating. Any ideas?

What are the compression numbers for the cylinders? Also the car runs real smooth and drives smooth to no hesitation i also did a 4.11 swap also if that helps.

nope the light never comes on. I just got done checking the timming and that looks good. But she quit smoking after i checked the timming. I am going to let her sit and see if it starts to smoke again

What color is the smoke. That can tell you a lot more than just arbitrarily fixing things.
White = Coolant Blue = Oil Black = Fuel |

It is kind of hard to tell the color it smells like burning oil but it looks greyish in color my coolant level dosent change and my temp gauge is reading normal. Would a crack in the intake duct cause this problem? I found one in the bottom next to one of the lines that run into it, also does anybody know where I can get anthor one to replace it?

Is there a leak in the PCV system?

I thought it could be a leak in the system. So i took my air compressor and blew air through all the line to see if any were clogged or anything and i could here valve piston move everytime i shoot air through. I did fine one leak. I fixed it and it didnt change anything.
