Smokey, Misfire (valve stem seals maybe)

I have a rebuilt rb30 bottom end with new rings and bearings. New standard head gasket and an rb25det head.

I have got a misfire from idle and it struggles as you accelerate gently (wideband reads lean as expected due to misfire).

My crankcase breather is just venting to air at the moment with very little smoke at idle, but if I kink this pipe I get excessive smoke from the exhaust on deceleration. It still smokes a bit a idle from the exhaust.

The smoke is more white than anything, but has a slight smell of oil.

I have done the usual search and come to the conclusion its the valve stem seals.

Am I right?

Can bad valve stem seals cause a misfire?

P.s. I have wasted spark running perfectly, fuel pressure and injectors are ok, afm is ok.

connect your crankcase breather asap to see if it stops it THEN see if you still have a problem THEN we can start ruling things out. common sense would tell you to connect anything thats supposed to be connected to see if its causing the problem, and i dont mean blocking it off... connect it as standard.

its happened before - dysfunctional PCV has caused an oil problem on other cars including my own. start from there.

SECURITY saved my life with the same situation!

Stock RB25, catch can setup with blocked PCV, would smoke just after start up when i took off from lights, and came to a stop.

Reconnected PCV, never seen another whiff :D

Defiantly never blocking the PCV again.

Im running msd coils in wasted spark mode. Cas has been replaced. Plugs at 0.8.

Misfire happens from startup most of the way up the rev range have not taken the revs over 4000rpm as mototr has only been built and not mapped yet.

      Tyres you use(d) and how u would rate them

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Done about 5k Km on the PS5's now, excellent street tyres, great in the dry, and the wet, seem to be wearing very well, I haven't measured tread depth, but it looks like minimal wear, I also had a different alignment done about 1500km ago,  From looking at the tread wear, which is really only minimal, the alignment changes were based off how the tread looked, and how it felt throwing it around, the changes have shown great results 215/45 17 at 32 psi Front Caster: 5.5° Camber: -1.5° Toe: 0.0mm Rear Camber: -1.0° Total Toe-in: 1.5mm I actually prefer PS5's now over the RS4's, as the PS5's are much better in the wet IMO, and as the MX5 gets driven in all weather conditions doing daily duties, hwy trips, and blasts in the mountains, wet weather grip is high on my priority list

      Indeed they do. Best my diff builder could tell is it's a combination of the different cut/angle and it would seem they lap them in well on accell but less so on decel. He had to use a slightly different pattern to the lap to get the best result noise wise. Also as the rear diff runs in, the whine is getting less.        Overall they seem like a good thing so far. He's done a few neat crown/pinion before but all for race cars with loud everything, in most cases the exhaust is louder, so I am the first to notice.... and be somewhat of a pain

      What do you mean by "test"? It sounds like you're just switching things on and off that you already know don't work. Get the wiring diagram and a multimeter and start looking for power where there is supposed to be power and earth where there is supposed to be earth. Look for continuity across switches that are otherwise unresponsive, etc etc.
