no idea what that means.?????? yes PCV valve. do clog.
white smoke at end if tail pipe. you didnt say where,?
white smoke has 2 reasons.(tail end) Steam and oil. steam goes away fast and looks just like moms tea pot. and smells sweet, like the antifreeze in engine. (rad cap off ,sniff sniff, cold engine)
oil burning, smoke is very very slow to go away. and smells like , blush burned oil. if not sure what burn oil looks like or smells like take out the dip stick on a hot engine let it drip to the hot exhaust manifold there. now you know. and is a key diagnostic skill.
no oil seen on dip stick end?, you mean that? well you need to keep that from happening, doing weekly service, and for sure old cars. 26 years old.
low oil invites blowing up a good engine. for sure. if it did that smoke is oil if it did 10x worse, both .
my wild guess is you meant to say I didnt see oil leaking on top of engine. right?
if the engine backwires to the air cleaner you forgot to replace the cam belt every 60k miles the pcv will also be clogged, on cars not getting proper service, super colon. if the PCV clogs,engine may leak oil bad.
this engine btw is a G10 3 cylinder. with TBI injection. we can talk TBI all day, owned one.
white smoke can come from many places exhaust manifold, leaks of oil can land there engine can back fire to air cleaner making smoke. tail end. steam is much worse. ill not delve in to that yet/.
replace alternator belt.you need to loosen alternator upper and lower belt then push alternator forward to slip off drive belt.if you have the prizim GSI. you need to raise and support the vechicle safely.remove the power steering and air conditioning drive belts.then loosen the lower mounting bolt and nut from the alternator bracket.then remove the alternator drive belt.
timming is not the issue, sounds like the valve seals are leaking, or the piston rings are severly worn. these engines are fairly simple to just rebuild the entire engine.....ie...seals,rings gaskets, maybe a have the head dropped off and have it checked for cracks or warpage.
