Probably needs an overhaul.
Blue smoke = excessive oil burning, probably due to worn piston rings or worn valve guides and valve seals. Black smoke = excessive fuel from running rich or a flooding condition. White/gray smoke with a sweet smell = coolant getting into combustion chamber.
If the valve cover gasket is leaking it will allow oil to leak onto the hot exhaust manifold where it will smolder causing smoke in the engine compartment.
First of all are you talking about the valve covers or the valves them selves because if your talking about the valve covers then over tightening them will break the gasket in between the valve covers and yes the engine will smoke and if your talking about your valves themselves then the only thing that will happen is the intake valve will let oil into the cylinder and will foul out the spark plugs
Blue smoke = excessive motor oil. Black smoke = excessive fuel. White smoke = engine coolant
excessive blowby
You Also Could Have Broken Piston Rings Causing Lots Of BlowBy. This Increases Pressure In The Oil Pan Causing This Problen Inside The Valve Pan. Also Try Replacing Your PCV Valve & See If This Helps. If Not You Engine Probable Needs A Rebuild Minute amounts of oil can seep from the valve cover gaskets and onto the exhaust manifolds and the resulting smoke will travel upwards past the valve covers making them appear to smoke
Excessive blow-by from worn rings and valve guides. A faulty or disconnected pcv system.
smoky, excessive oil consumption..
On the top of the head/heads. The valve covers, cover the valve train.
First determine the color of the smoke. Blue smoke is generally from worn piston rings, worn valve guides, worn valve guide seals. White smoke is generally from engine coolant getting into the combustion chamber via a cracked head or bad head gasket. Black smoke is generally from excessive fuel or "flooding" occurring from faulty fuel management.
Yes, a damaged PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve can cause smoke to emit from the engine. When the PCV valve malfunctions, it may lead to excessive pressure buildup in the crankcase, causing oil to be pushed into the intake system, which can burn and produce smoke. Additionally, a faulty PCV valve can result in poor engine performance and increased emissions. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of the PCV valve can help prevent these issues.
Yes, a faulty Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve can contribute to blue smoke emission from the exhaust. If the PCV valve is stuck open or malfunctioning, it can allow excessive amounts of oil to enter the combustion chamber, leading to oil burning and producing blue smoke. Additionally, a malfunctioning PCV system can cause increased crankcase pressure, further exacerbating oil leaks and smoke issues. Regular maintenance of the PCV valve is essential to prevent such problems.
