Does your engine give out blue smoke? It could be this...
Oil leak due to valve guide failure 🔧⚠️
When the valve guide wears out or gets damaged, it allows the engine oil to leak into the combustion chamber. This oil burns together with the air-fuel mixture and produces that signature blue smoke that comes out of the exhaust. 🚗💨
What components are involved?
🔹 Valve streak: Part that slides inside the guide.
🔹 Valve Guide: In charge of keeping the stock in line.
🔹 Oil step: Channel through which the lube circulates.
🔹 Combustion chamber: Place where the explosion occurs and... also where the oil shouldn't go!
What problems can it cause?
❌ Increased oil consumption
❌ Engine pollution
❌ Combustion failures
❌ Constant blue smoke
Solution: Guide and valve seals replacement. Don't ignore it! A small exhaust can cause major damage to the engine. ⚙️
