smoke when accelerating during a right turn lean
 

do this sound like an oil pump going?

valve guides

Thanks! does that mean 'rebuild'?

try keeping the oil level one quart low.

A few questions;

- Is it only under acceleration, or does it do it under decel?
- Does it only do it during a right hand turn or both directions, what kind of turn, hard long sweeper, etc.
- What year and engine 911?
- What colors the smoke?

happens only during acceleration on long hard right hand sweeper. engine is an 84. smoke appears to be white. intake/exhaust ports looked good from a recent plug change/SSI installation.

oh and oil level is just above the dipstick mid range. are you saying drop it some more?

dumb question but is the tire rubbing?

ed

mid range oil level as well as a restrictor in the hose between filler neck and intake. the restrictor is stock, but sometimes they're missing.

carrera turbo, tire rubbing probably not an issue as there's more than enough clearance and I can actually see the smoke coming from the tailpipe area. thanks.

John, will research into the restrictor issue. Thanks.

I had the same problem. It was too much oil - need to start by dropping a quart or so...The oil is getting in the air box. Check the box to see if any oil is in there too! odds are there is.

thanks c01! based on feedback I believe too much oil might be the root cause. where is that airbox by the way?

3.2s don't have one.

OK I've dropped oil to almost at the lowest point of the dipstick. Smoke is less but still there during hard acceleration. Can I drop some more? Any ideas why this is happening after an SSI install? Could it be because I stayed with the stock oil lines? I had the SSI installed away from home and when we found out we were missing oil line parts we decided to force fit the existing oil lines.

I think this may be a big part of the problem. Started puffing blue smoke and I had to stop. Needed piston rings & crankshaft bearings. In other words $10K worth of fixes (Grrrr!!!!).

Still waiting to get it back. I've been in withdrawal mode for the past 30 days.
