I think that the guides are prttey simple to get to. Just make sure the cylinder stays under compression, and it should be pretty easy!! Do I smell a write up??

 

i will try to do a write up.

 

ya that tool has been around for a while. and yes a "wet" compression test is a valid test. oil will raise any compression some. but if it raises it more than 10% i think it is, then that tells you. also you can have a worn oil control ring, and still have great compression, so just going by compression won't help you hear, thats more for dead cylinders or running issues, not always smoke issues.

i've never heard of seafoam helping smoking myself, not sayin it doesn't, but oil additives would be more the route to try first. change oil, run thicker oil like 10w40 or so, and i've already said i've had luck with one product.

 

Well im going to do an oil change tomorrow and put 50% thinker oil and 50% lucas along with some stop smoke. I use lucas alot for engine noise and it works great. I hope to will help with mine.

 

I used 2 qts of lucas and 3 1/2 of amsoil and its not smoking anymore. Atleast it hasnt smoked for the past 2 days. Woohoo

 

Great you have cured it Doctor JC.
