@brokene4652 I have a 79 k10 as well! But yeah the additive keeps the camaro well enough to drive around I just add it every oil change. It's not my daily or anything but I haven't had the same issue I had before with occasional driving. At least until I finally get a chance to rebuild it. Thanks for watching
@ nice! Mine is an 80 but unfortunately I have the same problem but a bit worse clouds of smoke now and is really not drivable so hopefully I can get it done myself this winter👍🏻
Nice video and yeah my 66 mustang is doing that especially out of the exhaust peppered my tool box and the garage door at work now I’m debating on new blueprint 347 or rebuild the 289 (I only want 400-450hp) that will be enough for my coupe it’s pretty light plus when my uncle owned the car it sat for a long time it was smoking a lot last year that was mainly dry valve seals and then the cam went out so it just kinda stinks all the money I put into it could of bought that new engine just about and plus now I can feel the power it’s losing
I have a 95 astro van and 89 240sx that does the same thing as yours smoke wise.. As time goes on it smokes blue heavy.. Same oily drips.. Good video did the rislone work?
Hey sorry missed the notification but yes it actually worked pretty well. Still smokes a bit at heavy throttle but I went from smoking out the stop light only a bit on the freeway. I was very impressed
I have a 84 firebird does the same thing barely drive it not going to rebuild it or put a new motor gonna try the additive first. It's a strong motor though.
Additive works good but so far I have to add it every oil change. Sounds obvious but it advertises it could "heal" it so you dont have to add it each time which has not been the case. For an occasional driver though completely worth doing it everytime.
@@dominating_reality Could be a mixture of things. I live in a very dry environment so I have less of a condensation factor but you'll hear people describe the smoke as blue which I think is more noticable when that is part of it. Naturally oil doesnt burn the same as fuel so though most of the smoke is it burning off what I was seeing coming out the tail pipe still had the consistancy and smell of oil. Then what doesnt make its way out dries and ends up being soot later. Not an expert in the science of it by any means but thats just from my experience.
Hi Are you saying that is a STUMBLE when it is cold but runs level when warm? so that means that it is misfiring when cold because the pistons/rings are not sealing when cold but as the piston expands when hot the stumble goes away. At least that is what i'm getting with my Dodge Ram v8.
It depends, that could be separate issues as well because hot or cold the spark plugs are still going to have oil and will still misfire. Assuming your truck isn't a diesel I would see what you can determine from the plugs themselves.
I have some smoke/ steam? Coming out from my carburetor/ air intake on my 454 big block. Mechanic gave it a Quick Look and said blow by but I’m not sure. There’s a little bit of oil in the filter housing I thought it could just be that getting hot, there’s no grey smoke and for the most part it idles ok.
Have you checked the spark plugs? Wet plugs would give a direction toward blowby. Steam would be a different direction with a head gasket so that would often have milky oil. If it's smoke out the carb it could be a timing issue or even a carb adjustment if there are no other symptoms. One test I didn't mention which might help is a compression test. Poor cylinder compression could mean a few things but largely its a bad piston/ring. If you grab a compression kit(Dont do the cheapest option) and test if each cylinder isn't around 100psi you'll know if it's likely blow by. If 2 cylinders right next to eachother are bad it can mean bad head gasket instead. Just make sure to pull an ignition plug/battery cable on distributor so the engine doesn't start you just need to crank it until it hits the compression stroke. I'll see if I can get a vid together now that you have reminded me about it but someone else might have one in the mean time. Thanks for watching, hope this helps
@@picklesgarage thanks for the content! I have a 1979 Camaro that I want to make content on eventually. This smoke problem is on my 78 C10. Enough to wipe off the oil is clean, nothing abnormal. I’m going to buy a compression test kit, I think that it’s lacking symptoms that would point towards a blown head gasket or blow by. Also, the motor only has less than 80,000 miles. I’m gonna look more into the carburetor and timing per your notes.
@justincoleman9739 Sounds great. Yeah I would be surprised, I am leaning toward timing. Best of luck. I just posted the compression video to reference, if the cylinders are good I'd make sure the distributor isn't 180'd
I just bought a 79 Camaro with a 350 in it. The car had sat for 7 years with a brand new motor in it . When I start working on it the car had a miss but they uses 20 tubes of silicone plus gasket on intake, valve cover, carb and the pan in the trans for the filter. I cleaned up the mess replaced all the gaskets plus and wires. Got it running sounds good no miss but smokes a lot figured just where it had sat. I drive it for lil bit then it starts missing real bad change the oil and smells like it had fuel in it. I took the spark plugs out all look good but cylinder 6 plug is bad cleaned it up started it back up sounds good lil smoke then it gets bad smoke and miss . I figure smoke is fouling the plug on cyl 6 making it miss fire bad but I saw oil coming out at the end of the header so do you think it’s the ring or maybe a valve seal??
It's a bit hard to tell but the trick is: Valve stem seals - drive down a hill at low revs with throttle closed. At the bottom of the hill open the throttle and youll see blue smoke from the exhaust. Piston rings - higher revs on the flat and blows smoke out the exhaust and or removing the oil filler cap while engine is running and you'll see smoke from the filler.

Nice break down
I’m in the same spot rn too with my k10 350 thanks!

@@picklesgarage gotcha thanks for the info I plan to drive it less than 1000 miles a year if that
@@picklesgarage what do you think causes the oily drips? Condensation water and soot from the exhaust/carbon or actual oil?
