I know the rings are shot, but that is not the problem. I just need the car to stop smoking for a little while. What can I do to stop the smoke

Hi there,

There is not much you can do if the rings are worn and the engine is using oil, no amount of magic cure in a can will help you with this one.

Hi there,

Well you can try any of the stop smoking products, but i don't think that it will do any good.
