Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi, had to do a longish run in the Hilux today and noticed something with it, just wondering what the probs could be.

Its also just been converted to gas, although I dont think thats the problem.

When I put a bit of a bootful into the car while sitting on about 100km/h, some smoke was visible from behind the car. Hard to tell if it was blue or white because I was looking ahead It seems to last for a few seconds then disappears. Happened every now and then and when I got to a lower speed, I couldnt replicate it.

Oil is fine, water is fine. Does it sound like the rings or stem seals are gone / going? I was running on lpg at the time so I guess it cant be excessive fuel etc from the carby.

Also its a 22r engine.

Thanks

Shouldn't be valve stem seals, they usually only leak after ideling or engine braking.

Most likely rings if its blowing smoke under load and revs.

Just a question how many ks has it done and what oil are you using
at night when ur sitting at the lights and theres a car behind you can you see it in their lights when you take off

The engine has done about 235000. Ive had the ute for about 2 months and the oil was changed before I bought it.

Doesnt seem to always smoke when sitting idle and I dont drive it enough to be able to confirm if its on take off at the lights. It only was blowing a bit of smoke last night when I gave it a bootful on the motorway.

Oil appears to be fine and coolant ok. I did have to top up the coolant reservoir today with about 250mls or so. There is a bit of water spitting out of the exhaust when I started it up, although thats probably just condensation?

Was just wondering i got a couple of ideas but gas powered cars are realy hard on their oil what weight oil are you using
