well, as it states, i need your opinions. . .
I went to start up my celica today (after not being driven for 1 day), and a sec after i started it, it immediately died. (i tried to start it a few more times // turning off the cd player etc.) and did not turn over. Then, since i'm kinda on a hill, i was able to start it rolling down . . . then it died . . . then, standing still, i stared it, and as soon as i did, i reved it. . . LOTS of blue smoke came out . . . (for about 5 secs...) . . . i have searched this, and blue smoke (according to pressure2) is linked with some problem w/the valve gaskets . . . and i'm thinking there is something more to this than that . . . ? anyway, please give me your ideas, and please only post if you know something key in this problem . . . Thank You, ~snap p.s. I know i have an oil leak, waiting to fix it...(it's like a $500 repair...) <------ EDIT:-------> just that much because of the labor, parts like $50 . . . and it takes a hoist // and removing a lot of stuff . . . nothing i can really do . . .

Keep an eye on it, if you consistantly get blue smoke on startup then it may be your valve guide seals.
The oil pan gasket, if that's what you mean, is quite easy to replace. Well... not EASY, but not hard either.  And it's $700 for a swap, just for the record  -Doc -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |
