smoking

[a***@aol.com]

I put up a post about rockers mostly because i have an 85 stock v6 and
it is smoking and im wondering if its the rockers, lifters or somthing
else entirely. Any In formation grealy appreciated.

when does it smoke? Puff on startup, while accelerating, or while
slowing down, or after sex(sorry)?
Puff on startup = barely bad valve seals
On acceleration = bad rings
on decel = bad valve seals

I actually do not own the car yet. The person selling me the car told
me that if i tried to drive it any distance it would smoke. He thinks
its the rockers or lifters. I think it could possibly be the rings.

Neither the rockers nor the lifters would cause smoking. What color
smoke? Blue is oil and white is coolant.

I just talked to the seller of the car and he told me that the smoke
was coming from the motor while sitting in traffic. He also said it
sounded like a rapping noise and he could not recall the color of the
smoke.

I had a problem once where the throttlebody cooling line had rubbed the
heatshield and worn away causing the coolant to leak onto the exhaust and
smoke...this happened only when it was warm and the pressure had built up
enough to let the coolant leak out, could be a possibility here if it is
white smoke. May be unrelated to the knocking when warm or sitting in
traffic
