white smoke at idle

[romtrt]

Mga Ser checked out kanina its bluish not white.My bad sorry na color blind ako. Could it be the valve seals na? Or piston rings? Or best is to have a compression test? Thanks a lot!

kung bluish ang smoke, siguradong may tama na ang makina mo bro. having a compression test will confirm which cylinder ang may problema.

Not necessarily, the oil may be leaking and going to the exhaust downpipe, effectively "burning" off and simulating blue smoke out the rear end. But I agree, a compression test is the most surefire way to determine if the engine is in good health or not.

Agree, it maybe individual parts like valve stem seals, piston rings, etc, or a combination of those.

yep!

in my case...kung papalitan nalang din ang mga parts na yan..lahatin mo na.

we had a customer dati na nagtitipid..ayun paisa isa ang palit...bukas nang bukas ng makina..mas lalong malaki ang gastos.

*mbeige and Glennster-Mga boss thanks sa kasagutan sa mga tanong ko. Nagpaquote ako sa casa last week. Ganito breakdown:

Compression test-P500
16 valve seals(Galant SS)-P3,500
labor-P1,000

Ok na ba yung quote ng casa? Should I go for orig or ok din replacement parts? San shop po pinaka mura orig mitsu parts? Pati contact no na rin po sana.

Thanks a lot for your help mga Sirs!

I noticed last night while naka park ako I turned on the a/c then after 5 mins lumabas sa oto it started to smoke but when i turned off the a/c nawala smoke. What could that be?

[puroy]

makiki-ride: sakin may white smoke pero nung pina-compression test kay migs, ok naman. oil level di nababawasan. water reserved konti lang bawas as in mga once a month me refill. ano po kaya prob? kakatuned up lang kahapon. and bago rad cap.

[speedyfix]

if once a month lang ok lang siguro... it's very hard to trace problems na hindi grabe like that...
