Why does my car smoke at high speed?
As you put load on the engine and engine speed (RPM) increases, the cylinder pressure increases and manifold vacumn increases to suck oil and/or coolant into the combustion chamber to be burned creating the white smoke.
What causes a car engine to smoke when not in use?
When this happens, the oil drains down the valves and into the combustion chamber and it smokes. This is caused by not regularly changing the oil in the car. It will eventually cause an engine to lock up from lack of oil on the crank and bearings.
What does it mean when your outboard motor smokes?
When the oil is burned it will give off this blueish or even a grayish tint to it. Note that the gray color can also be part of the white smoke. White Smoke indicates water or vapor. White smoke is usually not a good thing but it doesn’t always necessarily mean there is something to worry about, (we’ll talk about it in a minute!)
What makes a four stroke motor not smoke?
A Four Stroke, on the other hand, has an oil pan; where there is an oil pump that pumps the oil up into the powerhead, ( What is an Outboard Powerhead ), which lubricates all of the components without burning the oil and cuts down on the smoke.
Why does my car have blue smoke coming out of the exhaust?
If the engine has high mileage or extreme usage the pistons rings can be worn out meaning the engine will need to be replaced which can run between $2500 (US) and $7000.00 (US) depending the type of engine. When the engine oil level becomes very low it can cause the oil to become overheated and lose its viscosity.
