1990 Honda CRX Smokes Coming Out Oil Dipstick Tube?
Hi, I would really appreciate your help on this. I have a 1990 Honda CRX. I just changed my valve cover gasket and now there is smoke coming from the dipstick? Could it be coming from the oil tube? Thank you very much.

Ford F250 Pick Up with 460 Engine Exhaust Smokes on Deceleration
I have a Ford F250 that I recently dropped a 460 into from a 1978 Lincoln Continental. The car sat for 14 years not started, I cranked it (with fresh gas from a can) after I got it home, it ran fine so I just did a "poor mans bottom end" on it, I have about 6000 miles on it now and it smokes pretty bad on the deceleration from the passenger side pipe, is this a sign of a broken oil control ring ? I am sure I should have put rings in it while I had it on the stand in the shed when I put a new cam, lifters, valve stem seals, springs, retainers and locks, oil pump, timing set, rod & main bearings. The car had 93K miles on it when I pulled the engine and did not smoke when I started it, and it ran so smooth I thought the compression and rings all were fine... it has come back to bite me in the ... well the back side, do you think I should pull the engine and bore it .030 with new pistons and rings, or do an in-frame hone and just new rings.

1995 Mitsubishi Magna Blue Smoke Out Exhaust System - Why?
I have a problem with my car - a Mitsubishi Magna '95. it runs fine, but when in traffic for any length of time (around 15 monitues) lots of blue smoke starts to come from the exhaust. After moving again for about 1-2 minutes, the smoke goes away. When the smoke happened, the AC was on, but the temperature gauge was still at normal, and the engine seemed to be turning fine without any signs of overheating. No other indicators came on on the dashboard.
