So, I’ve driven my 93 accord for quite some time now, about 3 years I’d say.
Offcourse it leaks oil, it’s completely stock (except for the sound system lol).
And ever since I actually started getting into cars more, and playing around with my beautiful little antique car, I noticed something that I did, and I thought I broke my car.
I tried out-revving my buddies 2003 Cherokee...
I won.
But once I started redlining my car all this white smoke blew out, and it stopped after a minute or two went by.
That was quite a few months ago,
But just yesterday I went to start my car,
And it wouldn’t turn over, it was attempting too, spark going, battery’s alive, and then I tried pushing the gas pedal, it didn’t help but after a couple more tries it did cut on,
As it blew huge clouds of white smoke out the exhaust.
Which stopped a few minutes later.
But anytime I do a pull or do a 0-60 to time myself, that white smoke comes out whenever we hit past 4.5rpm
Now, I would assume immediately my head gasket blew.
But after driving it around and the smoke not being a constant, I’ve come to the conclusion that just can’t be it?
So somebody came to me and said I should think about my carbon buildup,
And phew...
Was I smacked with a feeling of idiocy,
I don’t even know what carbon buildup is!
So this post is to ask,
For a cb7 specifically,
How you would clean the carbon buildup out of your car, and what areas would it reside in most.
Should I rip my throttle body and valve control off and clean them?
Should I replace my cat converter and my exhaust completely?
Thanks for taking the time to read this,
I’m Ant, 21, from Virginia Beach.
And would love to meet some more CB7 owners.
