hi, i have a 98 civic ex coupe d16y8, is it ok to sometimes pull it to redline around 7000rpm. and when i step on the gas, there are smokes coming out of my exhast, but not black tho either or white. and my car is warmed up already and the outside temp is around +16degrees. is this normal.

thx

hmm i don't know enough about enigne's to be much of a help, but i would agree about the burning oil

Usually if it's burning oil it's more black. But I'm not sure. I would have to see it to tell you what I think.

when oil burns its a white smoke but when its coming out when you redline, im just guessing, is because the rings and cant seal that well at high rpms

if my car is burning oil, how can i check if it it, can i put my car in neutral and step on the gas and check if white smokes are coming out, if there isn't, that ok, rite?

thx

check engine block to see if you blew cam seal or head gasket......you will see oil on tranny also.......that or you cat. conv. is shot..........also you just might be blowing smoke out you ass:chuckles:....sorry.....but check those out

if its 16+ degrees outside im guessing its steam.

so when i redline it thru all the gears, it won't really hurt rite? cuz i heard if i do it once awhile, its actually good for the engine.
