Smokin' Jeep

[phil king]

Almost got her to stop smokin' now she smokes less than me! Pulled the plugs today number 2 was oil fouled so I figure that its probly oil blow by causing her to still smoke Why would the blow by affect just the one cylinder?

Can anyone out there help??

The rings from just that cylinder could be bad enough to oil foul the plugs...the others are probably not far behind. But..that's my 2 cents.

what color is the smoke??????

[phil king]

Smoke is light blue in color and only appears when she is in park
As for the rings I just replaced them not to long ago when I rebuilt the engine

when you rebuilt, did you do any work on the head? valve guides and seals? did you offset the compression ring gaps? take a compression reading of the cylinder and see what it says. though if its just the oil ring this may not prove any thing. if the work was recent, maybe the rings haven't seated yet. when you rebuilt was the block bored and over sized pistons used? i wouldnt tear it down yet. run it a bit and see if it gets better or worse.

When I rebuilt it I didnt bore the block made sure to offset compression ring gaps But it is possible that I forgot the valve stem seals things have been pretty hectic around here recently!
