Trying to help identifying a problem before disassembly for a guy.
2.2 4 cylinder pushing a lot of oil out of dual,outlet muffler. Seems to be heavier from one side. Ideas on cause/ problem. I know that’s not a lot to go on. Thanks |

My owners theory ( no real technical expertise) a bad ( very bad) valve guide ….like it pulled out. While I tend to believe something broke, I was hoping for direction.

QUOTE(sixaddict @ Dec 13 2022, 03:03 PM)  My owners theory ( no real technical expertise) a bad ( very bad) valve guide ….like it pulled out. While I tend to believe something broke, I was hoping for direction. maybe. but you would get a ton of smoke in addition out the back on start up. and it would run like sh#t with such a bad valve guide. it would be so fouled up. cause we are not talking slightly worn in that scenario. i kind of like mr @930cabman 's idea about carbs. you sure its oil coming out and not fuel that has mixed with carbon in muffler exhaust system. cause that will be black and look pretty liquid. agree with other suggestions here to pull the plugs. check the oil level. drain the oil and inspect it to see if fuel is mixing in it. cpmpression test., not much else you can do. after that its time to go in for for a teardown and look see. |
