Smoke Issue When Cold? Need Help

[jays r33 gtr]

Hey guy's

Need some help? Motor only has 4xxxkm on it but recently when starting after about 3min idling it starts and starts to get warm it's blowing smoke (smells like Oil).

Smoke completely goes once i start driving.. any idea what it could be, valve stem seal??

Car is running on E85

Leaking past the seals. Because letting a new motor idle for extensive periods of time is not a smart idea.

Did you bed the motor in properly? Or maybe it has nothing to do with your problem

Sounds like seals.....or what oil are you using?

Oil being pumped up to head but too thick to drain back down until it is warmed up - so its flooding the head.

Another one is go for a drive and find a good sized hill, coast down and take your foot off the go pedal and let the motor suck up oil. When you accelerate away at the bottom is it clear or do you see a smoke plume. A smoke plume [when the motor is warm] indicates rings and/or guides.

There are many types of smoke.

Black smoke is rich.

Blue smoke is oil.

White steam is water evaporating from inside the exhaust when its warming up.

What color is it? (not smell)

Id say its black and running rich while in the warm up circuit.

Stem seals will smoke blue for a few seconds till it gets burned up if its the stem seals.....

E85 attracts a ton of water so cars running E85 tend to have a lot of condensatin, or possibly called "white smoke" coming out the exhaust when idling. Are you sure its not just a lot of condensation mixed in with normal car smells?

Maybe his E85 has absorbed a shit load of water in the tank and running as a steam engine.

Bad skyline owner. Bad! No!!! *hits nose with newspaper*

idling a cold engine causes additional wear, when idling so little heat is being produced it takes the engine ages to warm up. The more time spent "running cold" the more wear and blowby is happening.

start it, let it idle for 10 seconds to get oil pressure and then drive it gently (light throttle) staying under half redline (3500rpm).

hmmm, if it takes 10 seconds to get oil pressure then im sure you will know about it in less than that.

I agree that whith idling extensively is no good, but are you trying to say that oil doesnt do anything until up to operating temp?
