    blue smoke?

    Alright so I have a 93 Honda accord an when I start the car blue smoke comes out and after about 5mins of driving blue smoke comes out only in 1st gear all the time. My thought is worn valve seals but I can be wrong

    Blue Smoke is burning oil. A lot of the time it is the valve guides or seals but it could also be something else, but I doubt it.

      Open up your radiator Cap when your motor is totally cooled down. Tell us what is in there after if there is a white residue stuff you have a blown head gasket and there would be a lot of smoke coming out of your exhaust.

        Water burning is white smoke, not blue smoke.

          I know, usually when you have a lot of smoke coming out of your exhaust and at the same time you have milk in your radiator, you have a blown head gasket

            x2 on the valve guide and seals, could be also rings, but most of the time its valve guides/seals

                I know on small bock chevys you can basically hook an air compressor up to where the spark plug goes to pressurize the chamber, then once you take the valve spring off the valve will not fall down into the piston. Then you can change the seat and guide. But that I only know works for my SBC, I however do not know if it will work on our f22's.

                  People do it on hondas aswell. Honestly it seems easier to me to take the topend off, but i've never did it with the head on.

                    Ya I was just saying I did not know if you could. But I have done it on a small block chevy before. It is actually really easy.

                    I think if you know everything else is good (basically your head gasket) I would see no reason to take the whole head off when you can replace the guides and seals in the car with minimal dismantlement. But if you suspect you could fix a couple things by taking the head off, by all means that would be a good time to do it.

                      When I upgraded the valve springs in my Cummins I just rotated the engine around until that piston was at TDC or close to it then the valve would sit on top of the piston and have no where else to go.

                      I used a spring compressor, compressed the spring and the valve would drop as you were compressing it... when your rotate the engine you'll see the valve start to rise when it and piston start to touch each other.
