Having noticed thick bluish smoke behind the stern, the car owner traditionally begins to call banks in search of a better loan offer. After all, even a child knows that the oil burns this color, and such a symptom means a major engine overhaul. However, this is exactly the case when Borjomi can still help. Details are on the AvtoVzglyad portal.
A used car is a mysterious and exciting thing. Sometimes he presents a problem that is smarter than the entertainers from ‘What? Where? When?” And the older he gets, the more adventurous the owner should be. Otherwise you can go crazy or, worse, become a pedestrian or credit car owner. Here you read and understand, or throw yourself in for all the money from the gas station. The second option has certain difficulties due to the emptiness of the bag, so only the first remains. It is worth using it if blue smoke suddenly flows from the chimney.
So we repeat that every more or less adequate motorist knows that blue smoke burns oil. Oil burns – the engine is defective, you need to open it. This is the logic? Not really. If the engine smokes constantly, there is no doubt: only disassembly will help. But what if the symptom is only diagnosed during inactivity? To avoid unnecessary and often completely unreasonable costs, you should carefully monitor the behavior of the vehicle and carefully read the signals it sends.
For example, if a car smokes only at idle, and in normal mode the exhaust does not differ from a working car, then the problem is not in the pistons or rings. The problem lies in the hardened valve stem seals, which do not even need to be opened to replace them – the work can be done yourself in the garage. Know in advance that you will assemble the necessary tools, which include a torque wrench, a set of gaskets and the same sockets, the price of which starts from 50 rubles.
So the caps can become stiff and leak oil within 4-5 years, leading to blue smoke. Removing them is a matter of time and accuracy; there are many examples of work on the Internet. There are also quite detailed descriptions that allow you to perform the procedure yourself.
In fact, there is only one problem here – the timing mechanism, which must be removed and then put in place according to the markings. The only extraordinary equipment you need is a desiccant, the price of which starts from three thousand rubles. By the way, service work will cost at least 20,000 “wooden”, so it makes sense to do the repair yourself.
Replacing valve stem seals will significantly reduce oil consumption, eliminate blue smoke and extend the life of the engine – the most expensive part of any car. Let’s face it: caps, like various gaskets, are consumables that require periodic replacement. Another question is that no one has done this before.
