Smoke???
 

Hey guys i need some help.. my 7m is starting to smoke blue smoke and its really getting bad. i pretty sure its my rings.. can some one let me know what i need to all replace to fix this problem and some input on good quality stuff.

thanks!:confused:

7mge or 7mgte..
if its a 7mgte. your turbo is probably going bad. were are you seeing this smoke.

no its not the turbo. i just had it rebuilt. its blue smoke. i only really see it when i stop a a stop light or stop and let it idle then after it idles for a few seconds the smoke usually goes away
o and its the 7mgte

Not an expert just wondering
 

Could that be valve stem seals, and if so would it smoke on start up as well?

were is the smoke comming from inside of the engine bay?

no just the exhaust. and it smokes when i start it too

yeah it does, but just a little

wrong section. Please make sure you're posting internet the appropriate forum image the future.

Great.... jinxed... son of a B!T@$

Guess what my car started doing today?

Possibilities include: HG, pistons, rings, valve stem seals or a cracked head. Valve stem seals usually smoke worse at startup and initially only at startup (before they get real bad). Start with a compression test and check the oil for signs of contamination.

yeah i know it sucks. its like one thing after another for me. turbo, clutch now rings...... whats next? lol
