smokin

[redynscire]

my l67 starts smoking when it sits and idles..rev it up, drive it, it quits..
any ideas?

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

what does the smoke smell like?


maybe check your coolant level and see if its low, it may be leaking.

also maybe your valve covers are leaking oil onto the manfolds.

Smoking out the exhaust, hood, underbody?

[redynscire]

its oil.. when it starts smoking from the tailpipe it looks like it starts smoking
from where the crossover pipe hooks to the rear manifold too

[redynscire]

valve cover gaskets are brand new.

[Zef_66]

its oil..

So you know its oil? How so?

[redynscire]

burning oil smells like burning oil
white clouds

[JoRoW99]

Yep. I replaced my seals with my new-to-me heads.

Im not even going to comment.....white burning oil smoke, that's amazing.

If you have done anything productive here, you have proven to me NEVER to do anyone a favor on this board ever again.......

So what was the end result of this thread. My GTP is burning through oil pretty quickly too.

I had come across the same issue recently. Some smoke at idle sometimes. We thought it could have been anything but valve seals as they were replaced less than a year ago. Well pulled both covers off and found seal on exhaust valve was no longer seated Wouldnt hurt to pull covers and inspect

So the gaskets on my Cylinder Heads are probably shoot then. You have to replace the bolts too. don't you? Does anyone have the bolt sequence?

Most likely your issue is valve seals. Head gaskets are very uncommon.
