Common problem
First off, sorry for the generic post description. Porsche 3.2. 88 model Carrera. Car has about 110k (speedo gear stripped). My last post here was about excessive smoking. My first guess was worn valve guides and I was crying the blues and getting ready to do a top end rebuild. I didn't really want to because the car is my daily for the last 2 years! Anyway,...I changed my mind when the car stopped smoking and remained running well. Tonight, I was just looking for something to do and decided to top off the oil. It's only using maybe 1/2 a quart every 1200-1500k, but as soon as I get the oil level correct. Warm, car running, correct level on the dipstick and lucky enough to have my gauge in the car correct too,... then it starts doing the smoke again. I can get it to blow smoke after this if I rev to about 4500 and let off. Or...under load just driving normally and coming to a stop. So....My question is,.....is this still valve guide wear? Has anyone dealt with this and it been something else? Thanks ASAP, the car is running in the driveway.
