the car ran fine until i put headers on it then it started smoking at wot, put mac mid lengths on it with high flow cats and y pipe, just had heads and cam done last week and it doesn't smoke until you get on it then it just black, and grey smoke behind a lot, why is it doing this, does it need a good tune, could it be the rings the car just has 54,000 miles on it its a 2000 ss 6 speed

 

Could be the valve seals on your new heads leaking oil into the cylinders, or it could be that the increased vacuum is pulling more oil into the intake from the PCV system. Do a search in the external mods forum for "Catch can", or check out our sponsor AMW to the right for their PCV catch can.

I doubt its your rings if it didn't smoke before the mods.

 

I thought oil was white smoke and running rich was black smoke? I have black smoke at WOT after my cam and headers I hope its not the rings

 

i have done the catch can, its fine until you floor it then you just see clouds of white smoke

 

My car smoked after I installed my Pacesetter LT's with ORY witout cats... It would smoke at WOT.... It was running real rich..... I cleaned the MAF sensor.. Then it quit smoking.... I also used sea foam after I cleaned th MAF... I dont know if that had anything to do with it smoking... But it quit... It still smokes a little but I think with LT's and no cats there's going to be a little smoke....

 

i put headers on it in feb. and would smoke black on wot, then last week i had heads and cam done to, now on wot it just puffs out white smoke, i had new valve seals and everything, i just really hope its not the rings, and lot of people have told me its hard to believe its that with just 54,000 miles, i have cleaned the maf too

 

Blue smoke = oil burning. White smoke = coolant burning. Black smoke= running rich.

 

Does it smell sweet? Sounds like head gaskets and burning coolant.

 

White smoke is never good! Black smoke can get fixed my a tune...

 

if you stand beind the car when its idleing you can smell gas, i'm just getting worried about it now because its more white smoke than black smoke now
