22re burning oil

[Dain Bramage]

yesterday i was coming down from the wall trail, pulled out onto reiter road, and noticed that i had a cloud of oil smoke following me. not a little, a lot. the guys behind me were telling me that it had been smoking for a good ways. i hadnt been at any really extreme angles since we got off of grumpys trail at least 3 hours before, and even then i wasnt on an angle for a prolonged period of time. this motor should not be smoking, it only has about 20k miles on it. any ideas on what could have caused it? vacuum leak, bad wires, anything?

sensed mosquitos nearby? :haha:



PCV is the first thing I'd look at.

My valve stem seals did it every now and then. I fixed it by revving the piss out of it.

Hows the oil pressure?? did it run warm or hot?

oil pressure was good, temp was normal. i dont know how accurate my gauges are tho, and i dont completely trust them.
