swapped intakes, now engine smokes like crazy out the exhaust

[dee]

Have you determined if it's burning oil or running rich?

How would the intake manifold gasket allow oil into the chamber? It's a metal gasket BTW. ill pull them tonight and see if one looks different

If the gasket leaks at the base of an intake runner, it will suck crankcase vapor and oil from the lifter valley, that's how, also creates a vacuum leak.

Its an ohc inline 3pot, intake comes in on the side of the head. Pcv isn't connected, I see no path for oil to be Introduced through there.

Plugs were fouled and pitch black, but all 3 the same. I'm looking for a adjustable fpr I can get my hands on tomorrow.

it might help if you tell us exactly what it is you're working on. I think we are all assuming v engine and possible ford/chevy, but that is clearly incorrect at least on the v part.

It's a 93 Suzuki g10

From a Geo Metro, if I recall correctly.


I'm fairly confident you are running way rich.

Yeah, found a pump with TBI pressures @ AZ, i'll pick it up today at lunch. if that doesn't work i'm hosed, we leave first thing in the morning for our camping/dunes trip.
