smoke but not overheating???

[JDM3StageVTEC]

Ok, well I have a jdm h22, after a good night of racing or simply speeding, the car starts to smoke from the motor, but the temp. Guage is still in the middle so my cars not overheating, and the car burns oil like crazyyyyyyyyyyyy, I changed the oil not even a month ago and the oil is black as night,i jus got the car not 2 long ago, so it could be anything, but the only thing the previous owner told me to do was to replace the valve cover gasket, would that cause it 2 smoke?

the valver gasket leaking would cause that. the oil escaping just runs down the back of the block and most likely lands on your downpipe, thus creating the smoke of which you speak of.

word? thanx, im gunna change it tommorow and tell u guys what happens

[blackcb7]

double check for any other leaks while you are there. pin point the leak before you change anything.

Not an easy job.

also check the oil pressure sensor over the oil filter,and the vtec solenoid valve

Not an easy job.

Agree.

My buddies Subaru does it. Rear main seal was the cause of his. (pretty sure we have rear main seals).

Valve gasket a hard job. Make me laugh
hard is what I call head gasket.

try to take out the timing belt with that hydraulic Timing Belt auto tensioner and puting it back with the same auto tensioner and then tell me if changing a vlave cover gasket is hard..... but watev if its smoking and the temp guage is in the middle it must be what blackcb7 said either that or its leaking from the front and landing on your header

X2 Valve cover gaskets are one of the easiest things to change esp on a F22 - they can be annoying on a K series due to the extra components that have to be removed.
I have to replace the timing chain and intake cam adjuster on a civic Type-R next week, THAT will be interesting.

You say the oil is black as night - What does it smell like (does it smell like unburnt fuel) Is it a H22 swap with H22 ECU or chipped ECU? If it's chipped the ECU could be running rich causing oil contamination.

I might be wrong but last time i checked you didn't have to take off the timing belt to check a valve cover gasket

I'm currently running a p28, and its stock from what I know of. And I'll check the oil when it stops raining
