Excess Smoke
- Excess smoke from the engine is most often an indicator of engine trouble forming. The various smoke colours can help to troubleshoot more specifically what the problem could be.
- White smoke can mean the engine timing is off or the engine compression is weak.
- Blue smoke can mean worn cylinders, piston rings and valves.
- Black smoke can be an indicator of dirty air filters, bad injectors, a turbo problem or a problem in a cylinder head (insufficient fuel to the cylinder).
