HELP! Smoke from Engine!
So I got to adjusting my valve clearances, and after i buttoned it back up and test ran it, there is smoke coming from the engine. I do not have the radiator setup, but I only ran it maybe 20 seconds before smoke started. What could be causing it?
Im 99% sure i put the cam chain and sprockets aligned properly. Idk what is wrong/

Did you clean the exterior of the engine or valve cover with any solvent that may have vaporized when the engine increased the temperature?
Kerosene and WD-40 can do that.

Yes, the smoke is coming from the headers so it must be burning oil. BUT my engine is making a strange metal clanging sound, I think it is the cam chain?
Maybe Valves? And i'm getting really visible exhaust from muffler. Its like white smoke?

So it turns out the Metal clanging sound was the cam chain tensioner not being set right. I messed with it and got the clacking to go away, and the white exhaust smoke might just be cause its cold out. I noticed my r6 doing it as well.

I usually get white smoke when the temperature drops at night, and is cold in the morning. Mainly comes from condensation.

What was in your lines at that time? Water? Nothing?
I guess I'm just confused why you would even start the engine if the whole thing wasn't put back together again. |

You may not have done too much damage, but you will have to keep an eye on it. Smoke most likely came from fluids getting on exhaust. |
