So I picked up a 90 eclipse gsx awd yesterday.
the guy said it needed new valve guides in the ad because it smoked really bad. anyway the ad wasnt very descriptive at all, it just said the exterior was really clean and the paint was excellent.
anyway i get there and see the following mods it has.
-fmic
-moroso oil pan
-ss brake lines, turbo feed, oil cooler lines.
-drilled rotors all around
-full megan coilover suspension
- full 3" exhuast
-bc 272's
-adjustable cam gears, unknown brand.
-greddy timing belt
-short throw shifer
and from what i can see, thats it.
he said he had the bottom end rebuilt last year, not sure about that..
i drove it for alittle bit and everything seemed okay.
i took the oil cap off, not any blow by coming out. took the dip stick out and no pressure came out. (i did this just to see if
it had blow by since i didnt have a compression tester on me, not sure if thats a legit way to check it, but i read on a different site that that was a easy way to do it) overall it seemed good, besides the smoking..
as far as the smoking, I figured the first thing i would do is check the ic piping to see if theres any oil in them, sure as hell there was. in the intake part, and in the j pipe. so im hoping the turbo seals just went out.
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
