- While the $38,500 McLaren does run fine, it's just smoking a lot with a ton of faults coming and going. Newest of the faults fleet is "Low Oil Pressure" so we may have a deeper issue somewhere..

Whoever told you that a McLaren will smoke when left for while, doesn't own one. I do and it sits for months without starting and never smokes, at all...... Ever
I said if its overfull of oil. Or super old e85
Agreed John. The last one I owned I had for 4 years, drove it infrequently and it never smoked.
That wasn't what was said in the video, I agree if overfilled. However, in the video it stated that smoking is standard for a McLaren that has sat around. No it's not.
Worse case scenario, I have heard a story of the oil pump gear coming dislodged from the pump spindle.
Hey Inja, I’m no mechanic but usually white smoke is indicative of a coolant or oil issue. The low oil pressure fault may be a possible reason for it. Also, when you change the spark plugs and coils, you could use a borescope to check the status of the pistons and bores. If nothing is obvious after checking the cause of the oil light and the pistons/bores, maybe try a combustion leak tester. Ive also seen that a faulty fuel injector can cause white smoke if it’s stuck open. Love the build and can’t wait for the next installment 😊
Great ideas! Will do when I get those spark plugs out.
The smokes blue not white so it’s oil.
I’m thinking turbo seals or even valve seats.
Kinda hard to make the SRS module entertaining...but hope you guys are having a great day! 🔥
Your Car Has A Street Racing Syndicate Module Nice.
By the way it's possible to make a module interesting
Hey man I guess I'll tell you what no one else is. I'm 99% sure it's your head gasket. Damon and Dave literally just went through the same issue on DDE with their 720GTR. I would sincerely get it checked because the longer you drive it in that state the more damage you're doing to your engine and the more it's going to cost to get it fixed.
You have a leak by the looks of the galvanic corrosion on the tub and seat rails or maybe someone dropped a drink but I wouldn't expect all that mould from a spilt drink or maybe I'm wrong.
Looking great ❤
Good job on the detailing!
You had a lot of sludge in those oil lines. Maybe put a quart of marvel mystery oil in and run it some to dissolve any remaining sludge then drain it again. If the low oil pressure light comes on though, don't continue running it till you verify if it's a true condition. May be some of that sludge has worked it's way into the where the oil sending unit is. On some engines there is a screen there that can need cleaning. The marvel may clean that out for you.
its understandable that you dont want to run it in its current state, which could risk scratching up the bearings
Those screens for the oil pump are there on mclarens
White smoke usually means coolant is getting into the combustion chambers of your vehicle. This generally happens because of a cracked or leaking head gasket, which allows coolant to seep into your cylinders. In extreme cases, you will need to replace your head gasket. At the first sign of white smoke you can try head gasket repair treatment to seal the leak before you do serious damage to your engine.
I think the low oil pressure is a faulty sensor. The smoke I think is either an overfill or an AOS issue. Start the car and see if there is suction on the oil filler cap. Change the plugs and coils and maybe do a bore scope while you are there
Exactly what I think. We'll see soon when it's back from paint!
The oil has to be 100% right amount , if not the engine will smoke . I have see these problem on different super car rebuilds
So the oil level in an engine never changes when it goes up a hill, down a hill and around corners....🙄
It can cause an excessive amount of pressure. If it's meant to have 5 quarts and you put 5 1/2, the system becomes overwhelmed and oil will be dispersed however it can. Modern engines require precise everything.
@@stevo184also literally no. The oil remains the same level lol it doesn't disappear. Baffles keep the oil pooling on inclines or decline
@@stevo184 oil pressure change if you over fill :) ect
@@joseureste8257 Absolute bollocks. I don't think you know the difference between oil volume and oil level.
Smoking so bad, might be too much oil or engine gasket is already damage. Checked DDE's 720 it's qlso smoking and after checking they found out that the gasket is already damaged.
his engine exploded dude, garbage over tune by gintani
I can second the marvel mystery oil for stuck rings. Just did this a couple weeks ago and it fixed it for me. But not gonna lie the amount of smoke looks like headgasket
Hey Buddy, back again and still wanting to buy this McLaren! That said this time here to help. Stop running that motor, the amount of smoke is crazy! Get an endoscope and look inside the motor, also run a compression check on the cylinders. Obviously oil is getting into the combustion chamber so it's possible you got ring blow by, seal issues with the turbos, etc. With this being a dry sump and being in an accident I would pull the ignition fuse and hook up a pressure guage to the oil line and crank the motor to see if you are getting the right presure. I have more to offer if you need help, let me know and we can arrange a call.
"But it runs fine" Whilst the garage fills with smoke LOL
Lolllllllzzzz you know what I mean. Runs great, no check engine light, just bunch of random codes coming and going
just james bonds car, smoke screen
Low oil pressure and exhaust smoke are not necessarily related. Whether it's oil or coolant smoke should be evident from the smell, however, a few simple tests will confirm some things. A Leakdown test (head gasket/stuck rings/valves). Combustion Leak Detector test (checks for combustion products in the coolant) or coolant pressure test.
Looks like one side smoking more than the other ,could it be rings sticking,do a compression test hen you change the plugs ,it looks like she’s definitely burning oil with the blue smoke,good look bro ,😎she did sound beautiful 😎
Man sorry to hear about the low oil pressure
The car has come a long way though!! It looks awesome!
Thanks dude! So close to getting it on the road.
oil level must be bang on on this model, slightly over will cause smoking
You wife sure has some patience, my own won't even let me play with Lego.
@@robblack7560 that's the truth! Women and make or break a mans happiness
Ah yes, wonderful McLaren ownership. I have always been suspicious of the McLaren engines, other than cost is why I went with the C8 drivetrain. I hope it is something silly, and easy to fix. Keeping my fingers crossed.🤞
@TheLinja. I like the white and black look. Are you going to keep that color look?
Great job I enjoy your videos, bring back the dipstick 😂
Russell England 🇬🇧
Change spark plugs first of all, and clean your oil strainer
I think the smoke is from a bad turbocharger on that side of the engine
just do a compression test and see if it has a blown head gasket
Looks like it my need new turbo seals
Cheers mate
Im kinda thinking that youve gotten to the point where youve done all that you can do on your own. Its probably time to take it to an expert in McLaren engines. I dont remeber if you said this car was turbo charged, but if it is, it could be bad oil seals in the turbo/turbos... Other than that, blown head gasket, bad valve seals, or worn rings are the main things that could cause this kind of oil burning. I hope the motor is ok, but its not looking good. Sorry man, I know its a downer to see all the negative comments.
no oil preaaure, just rev the engine, its a race car. not ment to be driven on low rpm.
You have a tiny weed smoking pixie trapped in the engine, use ice cream to lure it out.....
Next episode we hellcat swap the McLaren
Hahaha
Damn, what a pollution. Can't you just make it electric? It certainly won't smoke anymore, lol 😂..except for when...[beep] 💥
I guess don't drive it until you get it checked by someone who knows what he's doing.
It's definitely not a good idea to grenade the engine just for going up and down the street a couple of times.
does every mclaren sounds like this?
i never heard a mclaren that sounds like this.
Sounds more like a bad engine
Should of bought a C8 ...
nah, i'm not a fan of C8s really.
Suronster is at 1 million subs now. Inja got overtaken by a new youtuber by good will when you think for your followers more often. LoL this channel will soon die
Dang, didn't know it was a competition
@@TheInja Yeah well.. I unsubscribe u 2 years ago after finding out your not so kind. And just looking at your analytical history on socialblade your channel is really dying. You started in 2015 and your subs hasn't grown much since I unsub. Sometimes is better to be kind, don't be too self-centered and selfish😏
Good luck tho
@@jialatdotcomdotsg4998 name one time I've been selfish 😂
@@TheInja Selling all the ebikes you got for free to review it when your garage was getting full. It won't be so bad if you gifted it to your followers like Surronster did.

Now you name me one time you've ever given back to the community or even your subscribers😏
@@jialatdotcomdotsg4998 that's not selfish bro 💀 I sold those for so cheap it barely covered shipping. Giveaways are waaay more selfish. Taking money from every subscriber. 😂
Very dirty
It a McLaren, fix two things but five more break
Thank you The Inja for reviewing VTOMAN, your recognition is our honor. VTOMAN will continue to improve and upgrade products to bring better service to our customers.
Probably have stuck piston rings. That “Marvel Mystery Oil” comment deserves consideration. Remove spark plugs and add a little in each cylinder, let sit for a day, turn the engine over (plugs still out) to discharge excess oil. In the meantime replace oil pressure sending unit
Cut open the oil filter and look for metal debris. If there is a good amount, you're looking at bearing material from the crankshaft. I have seen this issue on Mclarens before.
Already did, it was clean.
@@TheInjaits going to be a headgasket issue
Get some foam inserts to stop stuff falling down the sides of the seat. Be a pain to keep removing the seats to get anything dropped
Remember, everyone!! Any air pumps and screwdriver kits you order also come with a piece of the McLaren! 🤘🏽 www.TheInja.com
Just ordered a screwdriver kit because of this comment 😬
@@isaiahsmart9933 because of this comment you get a piece of a volcano red McLaren 😏

Overfilled oil can make these smoke.
Thought about that too
McLaren . A actual dip stick was too simple .
No modern car has a dipstick anymore in Europe at least dont know about the States.
did you drop the oil pan and inspect for a clogged oil pickup tube? Or clogged oil filter.
Low oil level? Not sure why you couldn't verify that before. - the most common cause of low oil pressure.
Not an expert here. Just a thought.
There is no oil pan or pickup tube. This is a dry sump engine.
Man.. what an emotional rollercoaster... 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Seriously hope the engine's fine
A lot of youtubers are getting smoke after servicing these cars and they all say its because they're easy to overfill the oil
Loving the hard work in your commitment towards your goals.
Love the body kit‼️👌🏾 you made the right choice
It's going to look incredible!
I say don't send it for paint and body until you work the kinks out
Enjoy watching your vids you do good work I hope you can figure out the problems
It's probably just a PCV failure, worn valve guides or blown head gasket.
If the oil filter doesn't have metal shavings in it as you said. The problem is most likely something simple to fix.
It's probably nothing major.
For sure, 100% agree at this point. 💯
My mclaren was smoking like that also you probably over filled it
Been referencing your videos a lot. Thanks dude! 🔥
way too much smoke brother.. figure that. there shouldn't smoke like that on a EURO spec car. never. even my 24 years old japan shitbox never smoke.
Looks like you need a new engine 😮
Ask Alex Palmeri at Legit street cars to help you. Believe me, he will know what to do.
Any issue with oil pressure sensor or even bad ground? Any place u can get another oil pressure reading to bypass its sensor. Man I’m so jealous of your easy reset of airbag module. Ours is brand new and still gave the stupid light on the dash . Trip to Ferrari and 700 bucks later told the dome light passenger air bag light is bad. So here goes another 800 bucks on dome light to see if I can finally reset my srs system. Man I need to get this car passed to be legal in Canada . We goto paint in one month finally. Good luck on the oil pressure my friend
I’m with this suggestion, find the access to the sensor and replace it with an oil pressure gauge. Then see what it reads.
That knob thing I've had stuff like that happen to me in the past, like something wasn't seated flush even though you thought it was already, and then a moving part forces something back into place because it would normally clear, and suddenly the stuck part starts working again, magically. I wouldn't sell that part though, there's always the potential that the clunk that started the thing working could have also broken some small plastic peice and then you'll wish you had the part to repair it later.
True. Not a bad idea.
Hey man! I really enjoy your videos! Thay are amaizing!
Just watch Mat Armstrong video on his McLaren....he had exactly the same problem and reason was he overfill the oil...
It's a nice car but I would just buy a late model Honda Civic for that price because the insurance alone on that car is over a thousand dollars a month.
I'm guessing turbo seals are out. just a guess since it's running fine. might be worth it to pull the exhaust and check with a bore scope
For sure will be scoping the spark plug holes and exhaust when I'm swapping that 😏
Pcc fault is accumulaters😂 and or the wing messed up...always park it in track a dude said and buy a ctec charger NOT a McLaren charger believe it or not some of those have caused faults (per mclaren life) also thorney has a good video on how to reset the wing...also
LIFT CAR..TAKE 1 BOLT OUT and clean with wire
I think you have a bad turbo. Check it and check for oil in the charge pipes.
Check out Mat Armstrong McLaren’s 720 build , he had exactly the same smoking issue. It’s oil in the breather system. If you overfill the system by even a quart, they will smoke heavily.
daily driven exotics had the same problem and the engine was shot
Awesome project. Your approach is detailed and tenacious! Valvoline restore & protect oil worked in my application. Especially the twin turbo Porsche as it helps with buildup around rings. It's for long term use, not just a one time deal.
Love the TH-cam channel 🤙 take a step back bro 🙏 you've done everything till thus far 🤲 many people will say different things 🤷 but only you can figure this out 🙏 it could be something very simple such as an oil ring but we are not there 🤷 you will figure it out with patients 🤲 the engine running good, it's just that oil dripping into the exhaust 🤷 it's not bearing , coolant temperature is fine 🤲 so figure out how the oil getting into the exhaust,,,? 14:53
Great to see the car on the road Must be very satisfying. The rear camera view on the smoke while driving has a bluish tinge, and that unfortunately looks like burning oil. Either you have worn rings / cylinder liners or its getting oil past the valve guides. The latter is usually evident if you get a lot of smoke on letting the car sit for a while. Might also be oil from wear in the turbo bearing. I hope it's none of those things, but given the age, miles, and previous poor servicing history, you're looking at some major engine work to fix. I doubt its and overfilled oil situation that shoukd have cleared up by now give how much you have run the car after correcting the oil level.
Hard to get to parts aside. Normally I would pull the plugs and do a compression test on each cylinder, and in your case do a camera video inspection also inside.
Making sure everything looks ok.
No signs of bad oil rings etc., scoring etc.
Inspection camera everywhere honestly, intake etc.
Even a smoke , pressure test. No not the engine smoking, the smoke maker test for leaks
Sell the McLaren fr the money of a McLaren SLR…then tune the SLR to the slr tuning specifications of MSO these SLR 722 are over 3
Million Dollars…
Just to let you know it may help ,but DDE had a similar smoking problem with one of their miclarin,it had to do with a I' 14:45 canister and needing to burn off excess oil,hope this helps you out,good luck pat kersh
Axxx I saw the place for fix the seats to much rust clean it and used rust transformation to remove the rust then clean and paint for safe it 😵💫 I am surprised that this cars are like that maybe from cleaning to much the seats water go there and make rust 😵💫 for the engine smoke maybe you put to much oil and car burns it another option is cover of the heat of the block to be done and to mix oil and antifreeze with oil 😵💫 i hope it’s not to be just to much oil but it’s intrest to see each new video from you keep work on it 💪🏻🙂
Typically when you see white smoke it means you have a blown head gasket. Especially if it smells sweet.
I hope it’s just whatever you added to the fuel. I would try putting some fresh fuel in it.
Normally I don’t give advice on TH-cam but definitely handle all your mechanical and electrical issues before you even think about any more cosmetics like painting, etc.
Check the channels for Mat Armstrong and Travarish, they had the same issue on their Mclaren builds with the low oil pressure and excessive smoking.
Need to do a compression test asap. Also look at residual oil in the turbo. My view honestly is you have a blown head and I think.your idea not to drive it is very sensible. Check if you have milky oil, compression, or rings.
You probably have a bad head gasket and the coolant wore the rod and main bearings if you stop driving it now and pull the engine you can probably fix it with a set of new bearings and head gaskets you don’t want it getting too bad and hurting the crankshaft you now have more content for your channel you will need a lift to remove the engine and you can do the engine fix yourself good luck
Diagnose with a 20$ oil pressure gauge, may just be the pressure switch at fault (assuming it just has a basic switch) I replaced one today in a slightly less exotic car.
Keep up the good job.. maybe you have overcomed this issues this present time or else you will 👍🌸🌊🏖 Best regards from Sweden
maybe it is the oil control rings and valve stem seal but will need to tear the engine down to find out and if the oil pump is going out it will give not enough oil to the bearings and cylinders do a leak down test to verify engine health. I just thought of some thing to add pop the intake and exhast down pipes and see if the turbo seals are bad on both. Burning oil from the turbo will destroy the catalytic converter
I think I know what's the problem, it has no GAS.
I’ll come and do it for you long as you pay the motel and throw a couple dollars in my pocket I’ll come and do it for you in one day head gasket drop the motor the next two days. It’s gotta be two days order the head gasket and everything and we put it in.
Now the seats are as clean as the floor in the McLaren Headquarters in England… Jay Leno said you can eat from the floor in The Factory
Listen to me inja your car 100 percent 1 million percent has to much oil in it you intake will be full of oil it going to smoke for quite awhile unless u take it apart and clean everything out
The bottom of the seats have got wet some how as its rusty and the mold. Hope the electricals under there are all good. Looking forward to seeing you enjoying the car.
Probably dde had the same thing happen and it was there head gasket . But u defintley drown the motor with too much oil and u probably have a ton of oil in the intake manifold and the turbos
Isn't that the worst, when you budget x amount of hours to do "a job" and that job doubles because the amount of dirt/grime/mold?
DDe had the same recently. They had blown the headgasket on their 720s. Also could be you actually put too much oil in there.
Cannonball garage they know how fix all maclaren they have you tube Chanel maybe contact them they are especialista
if it's not actively leaking oil, and you're putting oil in it, maybe it's the oil pressure sensor?
Head gasket ??? Dde 720s was doing that. All so take of the air intake to the turbo and check if there oil in there
Change oil messure correct amount,mclaren are known about the smoking if oil is not correct
good vidoe, i had that happened to me many times, ordered a part and the old part starts working before new one comes!
Is the head gasket the head gasket is gone from the car is sitting change them now
Takeshi it to mclaren like the guys in the uk do after every rebuilt they will tell you whats up
13:23 very nice combustion engine I still believe you should have made it an EV
May be wrong. But think you missig a knee airbag under the steering wheel.
It’s a British thing, give yer stalk a waggle, fixed 😂
Bad oil pressure sending unit? All gunked up maybe?
Before anything else, at this point I'd do a compression test.
Like Damon's 720 GTR it wants to be a McKaren.
Any update brother everything all right
