billbosh Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Actually it definitely is oil. I meant "dark smoke". It is blue not black and smells like oil not fuel. I'll keep y'all posted as to oil consumption. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.sounds like it could be a stuck pcv, or aftermarket pcv, or someone removed the baffles from the valve coveri have never had a conquest motor with leaking valve seals lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billbosh Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Yeah I tested out the PCV and it works great. Regarding the valve cover baffles, can someone please post what they should look like so I can see if they've been removed. If it's not the baffles I'm leaning towards rings, since there is no smoke when I lift off the throttle in neutral (otherwise indicating valve seals). Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarquestRescue Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 If the valve seals are damaged, you can often see that by eye balling them through the springs. At some point a leak down test should be down. These can pick up problems that a compression test can not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
