Blue smoke on first time start!

[bubble]

Hello friends, i am owning an alto 2002 and its 95k plus driven, i am experiencing something strange that sometimes and i say sometimes when i start cars lets say about 24 hours or so, blue smoke comes out with water droplets, that blue smoke is NOT steam i tell you, but it smells like burning ... its for 1 minute or so and then its ok and it doesn't even smell the same when i smell the silencer closely... wats that ??? a valve problem or oil is leaking? wat?
thankyou for your consideration friends....

I may b wrong but it happens in cold start like in morning and its very normal.

Bro the problem is with the engines heads.when the cars at rest the oil thru the valves leaks into the combustion chamber.so when u start the engine the oil burns for sumtime and giving you blue smoke...so your engines head valves are leak.

^^well said asim bhai:)

so what should i go for? chamber maintainance or head? :S confused and how much would it cost? thankyou

[Junaid_A]

What is happening is your engine oil is leaking past your piston rings and getting into the engine cylinder and mixing with your fuel and ultimately burning along with the gas. That leakage is getting compressed with the gasoline in the combustion chamber and the burned oil makes the blue smoke.

Looks like you will have to replace valves, rings and pistons or complete engine head rebuilding.

open the head and you will also know the condition of the piston ring...well i think the problem is still with the head valves seats (they are leak)...so change the valves seats and stuff related to it...get your head cleaned,,,the stuff and cleaning will cost you around 4k-6k...and yeah do contact an experienced mechanic for this problem...

i've heard that engin throwing water seems to be efficient engin, is it true?

[spectra]

You have to replace valve seals to get rid of this problem

[bubble]

@spectra, r u sure only valve problem is there? like others are saying for overhaul and head opening e.t.c ?

[spectra]

Its throwing water as you said so its only valve seals are to be changed. A good mechanic can do that without opening the whole head.

[portage1]

spectra you are wrong....if you see water from exhaust its mean engine is in super condition

[chocoholic]

True, water from the exhaust is the sign of a good engine.

[spectra]

People are telling him to get an overhaul and etc. I am the only one who told him that its the matter of valve seals only. No need to in deep

@spectra thankyou , today i visited one mechanic and he told me that chamber is leaking :S he said he will open it from beneath and see wats wrong..
what should i do? and can u tell me how much would it cost for the valve seal things u mentioned? thankyou

[spectra]

Chamber leak has nothing to do with blue smoke. That mechanic wants to verify condition of pistons and see any signs of wear etc. About cost i have no idea as i never had such experience with a suzuki

[civic_2002]

get your engine overhauled,chamber seems problematic & remember when once chamber giv problem this means definitely head & gaskit problem,also better to check rings & pistons because this chamber leaks why happen ( because of weak rings & pistons)

[hatif]

heya bro, tym nw to ovahaul ya engine! it doz happen wid old carz, all hv wel xplaind da prob n i totally agree wid all! bt 1ns dz problem hv ocurd so u hav ta completly renew ur head unit, ringz n pistons, warna individually jo part dalwaoge it'l ware soon!
total head ovahaul wil almst cost u around or undr 8k..

[civic_2002]

hatif is totally right 100%

dont change parts individually because today u change 1 part tommorow another part will be problem so dont waste time & money,
go for complete overhaul,& dont buy 2nd hand or kabli engine
only go to suzuki 3 s dealer & buy parts genuine from there ( but u can install from anywhere if carachi motors giv u big estimate for installation ) & for karachi spare parts i will recommend u "carachi motors" near awami markaz

& after that take care of ur car because 95k for 2002 suzuki is not too much time for changing engine but as signs u told are enough to judge that engine is starting to end so take care, even u can drive little more with this condition but close eye to engine oil dip stick & engine oil carefully.

@ newton
if is steam like white smoke in very cold days then only it is normal
but blue smoke is not sign of normal,it is sign of bad engine

& m_kaiser
yes to some extent it is true that water comes from silencer indicates good engine but not only good engine, even some weak engine also do like this
actually this water is due to good adjustment between carberetor, engine & proper tuning to all airintake,airflow etc.

even some weak engine matches with good carberetor tuning thus gives water

@spectra
u may be confusing
these guys r right, chamber leaking also leads to blue smoke
