Question for TP/LTH users, oil smoke @ high RPM?

Sh0velMan

Part of the warm up process, for me, is to gently rev into VVEL land ~5500rpm (after it's idled a few minutes) because that's how you can put heat into the oil.

It was around 165-170 indicated when I started this video, right at tstat open ~183 when I stopped. Dropped back to ~170 immediately.

No smoke on start up, only on full vacuum. I'm thinking it's intake valve seals as well, Megan.

if i drive for 20 mins then yes it gets to temp but sitting there and idling for 20 mins will not get it up to 160F


have someone follow you and see if you are burning oil under load on the highway or something, if you are then i would check your intake tubes for oil if you dont have oil catch cans installed, if there is oil in your intakes than you might want to check your compression and see if you lost any(that would also explain your smoke because oil is being sprayed into your intakes via PCV valve) and if there isnt, you will want to check your engine out anyways since you might be leaking oil through a seal or something
