1990 Honda CRX smoke

Hi there ,

If the smoke is bluish, it will be oil smoke, and you will have a problem with rings, or valve stem seals & valve guides, Stem seals & guides will tend to only smoke first thing in the morning or when the engine has had a chance to cool. and it will clear quickly, rings will smoke more often when the engine is warm and will do it under most driving conditions, what are your symptoms?

its the rings because it only does it when its running
but can it be the head gaskit ?

Hi there,

If it was a head gasket problem you would get far more coolant leaking and this will be whitish smoke, also overheating, i would be thinking more rings.
