why smoke?
why smoke? My 99 camaro smokes pretty bad on the decell.....It didnt smoke with the stock exhaust(I didnt notice it).I have a full mac system on it now ,with off road y...........does anyone know why this is,or if I should worry.I realize a little blowbye is common,but this is more than a little.It doesnt smoke at an idle,or if I just cruise through the gears,only under a descent or heavy load,ecspecially on the decell..but a little when I switch gears too.Pleeeeze help...thanx
LS1's all blow oil at light load because their light tension rings flutter in this situation. But it shouldn't smoke under heavy load unless the rings or valve guides are shot. A compression test might give you some clues.
