    Sold 1999 (red) GSX

    The time has come to sell my GSX. I am the 3rd owner and the car has just over 151k miles. There are upgrades that were done to the car but cannot be driven to its full potential. Car needs a tune and no busness has the capability to tune this car using either ECU reflash or ECM link. I will...

    Compression test

    Just did my annual compression test and it seems like cylinder 2 has been the weak one so far. The block internals are still factory with the exception of a new head gasket. This car has never been raced on a track (learned my lesson from my GS-T)I am the lucky 3rd owner which seems to care...

    2G White smoke

    White smoke no more, after a heavier oil 15W50 mobile 1 and oil treatment. New DP gasket, exhaust manifold studs. Eventually I will need new rings (if it smokes again) but for now I'm happy

    What did you do to your DSM today?

    Drove it too work after getting new exhaust manifold studs and gasket

    2G White smoke

    The $1200 job includes removing head and taking it to local machine shop to see if there are any other issues. Last night I swapped out old exhaust manifold gasket just need to torque them down and take it for a test drive. There was a lot of carbon buildup in the head runners. So I scraped some...

    2G White smoke

    For sure...but trying to rule out everything else before I fork up $1200(minimum) to have the seals replaced and hoping nothing else is found. And if not, then have the whole valvetrain replaced

    2G White smoke

    Replaced old 15W30 for 15W50 and at that time burned out all oil in cylinder chamber. Meow its time to change our old exhaust manifold gasket for a new one? What you all think?

    2G White smoke

    This smoke was after I put on new DP exhaust gasket and checked turbo for oil. Now I will try s thicker oil with oil treatment

    2G White smoke

    T25 impeller and exhaust manifold oil build up...sign of bad turbo or leaky valve?

    No signs of oil in charge pipe

    2G White smoke

    Isn't there suppose to be an exhaust gasket? First time I've ever removed DP

    2G White smoke

    That's exactly how my car smokes....and everyone behind me gets a taste of 4g63 pleasure. Here is a pic of my plugs

    2G White smoke

    I still have the stock exhaust and was just asking since it still has all that residue from the oil buildup from stock. Just an idea on upgrading the valve train just in case the valve stems were bad. The timing belt, water pump and tensioner were already replaced after I purchased the car. But...

    2G White smoke

    Lets just say, I remove the DP and there is oil and of course the main culprit is the turbo. Would I also need to replace the exhaust since it still has a lot of oil buildup and/or residue from the bad turbo?

    Whats the yellow rope used for in your picture?

    2G White smoke

    This is last years compression test results in green while the blue results are from 2016. The local mechanic said no need to purchase new valves and cleaning would be fine. So I'm like, not too sure about that which is why I'm asking for help on here. Exactly, what if there are more...

    2G White smoke

    That's the exact type of smoke I get when I'm either at idle or normal driving under normal boost conditions but as I mentioned in a previous post, I will also check the turbo. Hopefully its the turbo because it would less down time. Yep, plates say TX but I actually live in Sierra Vista, AZ...

    2G White smoke

    My second opinion came from a fellow DSM'r from El Paso, TX and he said to check the charge pipe for oil. Don't you think if it was a bad valve, it would idle or run differently? I will also check the T25 and run another compression test.On the attached picture I have last years compression...

    2G White smoke

    I was told by a few trusted people that the smoke is a result of a leaky valve. So it will cost me about $1100 for valve job to factory specs (sooner before I cause more damage to car) The mechanic also said no need to replace valves just thouroughly cleaned out after 19 years of carbon build...

    2g Camber kits?

    How much of positive camber for 7 washers plus the crush washer?
  27. victors_97dsm

    Should this cause no compression?

    So what did you find? Was it bad piston ring? Or how about the head gasket?

    coolant temp at 219f on a 90f day normal?

    Have you changed out either the coolant temp sensor or coolant sending unit? I had the same issues when I bought my 99 GSX which was running extremely hot and had to change out everything related to the coolant system and the last thing I changed out was the coolant temp sending unit sensor and...
