Excessive Smoke From Exhaust Pipe
Common Problems and Solutions
The most common problems of blue smoke revolve around oil leaking into the engine's combustion chambers and burning with the fuel as discussed. However, the solutions to the problem often vary depending on the exact condition of the engine. There are times when the correction can be as simple as changing the valve stem seals or cleaning drain back holes. It is important to note that if you decide to repair the engine you have, you are often looking at hourly repair rates plus parts and machine work to repair the engine. This is quite costly and depending on the age of the engine may well not be worth the expense of the repair.
If you are highly fond of the vehicle and intend to keep it there are definitely times when a new or rebuilt engine is a better deal. Keep in mind, if you decide to change out the engine you are often able to extend the life of your vehicle by 10 years or more which can save thousands over the price of buying a new vehicle. Plus, your best bet on a new or rebuilt engine can be obtained by the dealer; surprisingly the dealer cost for the engine is close to what you will pay to have the engine rebuilt independently.
