when does it smoke?

semtex

under excelleration, when running cold its worse

but when warmed up it just smokes during exxcelleration (a lil)

but idle theres no smoke

sounds like your piston rings are shot. Basically you need to rebuild the motor. how many miles are on the motor?

semtex

i have a lil over 310 000kms

do i need just gaskets, rings and stuff or do i need things like springs pistons camshafts?

mind you im just looking to stop oil burning and not redo nething that isnt nessary (ristricted budget here)

you gotta take off your head and oil pan gastket and change all your piston rings.

Adding oil is cheaper and easier than a rebuild.

do a compression check, if any seem low, add a little oil through the plug hole and check it again. If it goes up the rings are bad.

My car smokes a little, but its just the valve guide seals. I don't feel like changing them until its time for a new timing belt, which is like 30K miles off.

mine smokes when I start it up ,, protege not the 323... but once it warms up the engine does not smoke during accel or anything..
I am changing the motor , so I really could care less at this point..
