just bought it last sat, doesnt smoke at idle, rev it up leaves black soot on the ground, when driving, you hit the gas, i think maybe its the valves makin a chatter noise and then you get the black smoke out the back, need a valve adjustment? can i do it myself? also how hard are timin belts to do... thanks guys

 

my friend put in 4 qts of oil in his 95 dx and it smoked like a mother

 

Sounds like you're running rich. Meaning too much unburned fuel. Could also be carbon buildup being blown out.

 

it smokes everytime you get on it, it ONLY SMOKES when I hear what I think are the valves being loose

if it were piston rings it'd smoke at idle, do these cars have MAF sensors?

 

It really sounds like carbon. Especially because of the black soot.

 

the thing leaves CLOUDS OF SMOKE bro, runnin rich and can the vavles chatter?

 

I guess i would redo the valves.

 

How do you redo the valves? any guides on here, Im new to these motors but Im sure they arnt hard to toy with

 

Krazy...Go to the local Library's around your crib...they will have to manuals to show the gaps. Just don't do like me and keep the manual for 2 years, aparently they don't like that

good luck man

 

I suggest adjusting valves, checking oil when cold, then running Sea Foam through that bitch.
