I just got through changing my valve springs, and put everything back together. Started it up and I'm getting a little white vapor out of the exhaust, but it has done this before. It's been sitting in my garage for 3 weeks and I just fired it up after the valve spring install. Very humid here, and I figured it could have been a little moisture in the exhaust. Anyway, seems to be idling smooth and everything is functioning, Direct Scan looks good. I let it Idle for about 5 minutes, and then shut it off. Went to check the oil again, and when I pulled the dip stick out there was some white vapor coming out of the dip stick tube:confused: Oil looks good and clean though. Anyway, I just got done with a turbo install, new oil feed line, thermostat install, and valve spring install. No leaks anywhere, but I'm not sure about the white vapor. This is the first that it's been fired up since all of the installs over the last couple of weeks. Any opinions?
 
PCV valve working good???? That would be my guess. I have seen the vapor on my car before when the PCV wasn't connected as well. When I reconnected it, it didn't happen again. But the kink in that is that I now don't even have a PCV setup and I don't see the vapor at all (but I do have to breathers)... So, go figure... :rolleyes:

That could very well be it, I had all that stuff jacked around while I was changing the springs, so I'll check that. Althought after letting it run a little more I'm not seeing the vapor again, go figure. Thanks for the input. :)
