hello i have a 92 acura integra and i put turbo on it. recently i put new pistons in because i broke the ones it had. when i turn on the car smoke comes out from the valve cover. it was doing the exact same thing when the pistons were broken the only difference now is that before it was smoking from the exhaust. now it doesnt smoke from the exhaust but it does from the valve cover. the smell of the exhaust and the valve cover smoke is very different. i am thinking that if it is the same smoke it is going to smell the same. also i was messing with the bolts on the rocker arms and never knew how they went. does some one know the lash clearance? i have now put a new head gasket and the proble is still the same. i also have the asfc II and the aem air fuel guage with the wide band o2 sensor and a oil pressure gauge so i know that all that is good. i would really want to know what is going on. what is the lash clearance supposed to be for the 92 acura integra gsr?

are you sure its not coming from the manifold? could be cracked or the gasket was overtorqued?

did you replace the valve cover gasket when you took it off? if not that could be why its smoking

the smoke comes out from the breather hole as well from a air leak that it has on the manifold where the waste gate goes attatched. but from that little hole seems to be also comming out oil. and the valve cover gasket is still in good condition...

i think i am having the same problem that i had before. now my car is smoking from the exhaust i just noticed it today. the thing is that i have not hit 100 miles yet and the pistons are probably broken again. this is the same problem i had before.
