Longer you run it with bad piston rings worse problems are likely to arise. Valve stem seats are also know to wear out and cause smoke . If you pull one of your spark plugs and it has alot of oil and soot to it. It's definetly one of the two.Other causes could be a blown head gasket,cracked head,or a bad egr valve on an automatic transmission.Bad EGR valve signs are smoke from the pipe on a warm morning.It's actually sucking the transmission fluid into the engine.Until the transmission warms enough to seal off.</p>The great corn-ho-lioThe great corn-ho-lio26answer3.0Fri, 10 Apr 2009 20:12:54 GMThttp://yedda.com/questions/Help_OIl_Burning_Smoking_issue_1494116163847/description_say_engines_pistons_735539167133405?src=rss:qb:qbiRE: Help with OIl Burning/Smoking issuehttp://yedda.com/questions/Help_OIl_Burning_Smoking_issue_1494116163847/possible_overfilling_thing_350717371199943?src=rss:qb:qbi<p> Is it possible you are overfilling this thing?</p>B.o.B.B.o.B.69answer3.0Sat, 11 Apr 2009 00:04:05 GMThttp://yedda.com/questions/Help_OIl_Burning_Smoking_issue_1494116163847/possible_overfilling_thing_350717371199943?src=rss:qb:qbi
