If you have a bad ring, that is your problem. The smoke is caused by the oil entering the combustion chamber past the rings.

If you replaced the headgasket twice, why didn't you go a little further and do the rings? A hone job will get a minor scratch out, but it may need to be rebored if the scratch is fairly deep.

if he was burning oil, he'd be smoking blue. if you did infact need to change your rings, by God do so, no reason for further expenses in the future.

buring antifreeze is white smoke.

could always be a cracked head too (water jackets leaking antifreeze into the combustion chanber)

mmk since we r talking about intakes, when i get my 94-95 b18b, wat intake manifolds could i use. being in cali i want to keep it legal so i was thinking of getting a gsr or tpye-r IM. jw, r there any performance IMs that are CARB legal and could getting a performance IM cause u to fail visual and or testing? would either the gsr or type-r IM fit the b18b? and which one would u guys recommened?

what does a b18b come in? dont think ive heard of that one...

tgansert

B18B comes in an LS teg.

BTW - The Type-R IM and the LS IM are identical & a GSR IM would be pointless.

Go aftermarket for an LS IM.

teggyls

get a skunk2, they are replica type-r manifolds. theyre cheaper and easier to come by. but tgansert is right, a type-r would fit your ls motor. the gsr has secondary runners for vtec that would be useless/pointless on a ls.

How do you tell the difference between a ITR intake manifold and a B16a manifold? I hear the bolt patterns are the same? Any way to visually tell without removing the manifold?
