VN 5 Litre white smoke exhaust

[outbackjack]

Hi Guys,

As above. I have come across a little problem.
I am looking at a VN with the 5 litre.

It has heaps of white smoke coming out of the exhaust. Like enough so u cant see the road behind you.

Any clues?? It doesnt appear to be using any fluids and its a manual.

Thanks

normally coolant, blown head gasket etc. maybe just a slow leak, white is water normally

let it warm up about 5mins, then take off and see if there still smoke

Yer,

It doesnt matter how long it runs. Doesnt seem get any worse.

All the fuilds remain the same and dont have wrong coulors etc



I thought if it had a blown head gasket then it would use water and water in the oil etc.

The smoke is that bad you cannot drive it. You cannot see the road behind you, However engine run as sweet as.

With having a catylitic convertor would it stop blue oil smoke??

The Cat won't do shit if your leaving a smoke screen behind...

I'd be looking into valve stem seals...

ive got valve steam stem seals gone in ym vr and you onyl occasionally get a puff of blue smoke when idleing for a wile. and its blue smoke, not white. as said by sixshooter, cat wont do shit, have you ran a diagnostic check? maybe a sensor isnt quiet right.
