Smoking after 5000 rpm

[ctbo2002]

ok so i picked me up a 1995 integra B18B1 and the car runs like a dream :twisted:. only problems is that when im running her she smokes really bad when i hit over 5000 rpm :cry:. as im driving if i shift before that no smoking and if i shift after poors out the rear. when i get into her i have to add oil and coolent often. i know i need a valve cover seal but not sure were my coolent could be going???:roll:

is the oil in the dip stick milky looking??

 

[ctbo2002]

no its wierd becouse i dont loose any oil or coolent unless im shift over 5000. two weeks ago i was running her over 5000 and had to add 3 quarts of oil and 2 gallons of coolent but this week i have been staying away from the 5000 mark and havent needed to add any...???

What color is the smoke, this info could often help decide the problem...

bad head gasket?
but that wouldnt make any sence cuz it should still do it below 5k also
my car just burnes oil if i go above 4k

I was thinking something is up with the head gasket too, it's probably the only place you could lose both oil and water at the same time.

its blue like if i did have a blown head gasket.

i just thought its weired that it only happens over 5k rpm

yup your head gasket is gone. In theory a reason it does it above 5000 is the added stress but that is just some 'arm chair analysis' but more then likely it does it all the time you just dont notice.
