need some help burning oil

[relaps]

hey guys my 20v ST is burning a little oil and i'm not sure whats causeing it
when the car is idling it smokes a lil bit
and when i hit high RPM it does the same what might be the situation, i need to fix it like quick
you see my 20v is in a very very light car and because that is happening i am scared to drive hard, in order to deal with plp who are calling for a beating .

oh and another thing which clutch is bess i want to go copper
not sure how hard though

[relaps]

yeah fellas some help here

do a compression test and see if u see andy major diff between cylinders. Most high performance engines burn a little oil, especially synthetic oil. As for the clutch i would not go copper if u driving everyday, not to mention its over kill unless u making 300 lbs/ft of torque. I have had great experience with the ACT Heavy duty pressure plate and Street disk. Clamping forse is 40% over stock and will hold up to 233 lbs/ft of torque. Engagement is a bit harsher than stock but your pedal feel remains almost like stock. Copper will scortch your flywheel if you drive everyday with it, plus u will get alot of chatter trying to move off. Its made to launch hard and handle big power. Hope that helped.

scene well i did a compression test and all the cylinders read really good, so i don't know if its the valve seals how can i test that ?

oh and about the clutch wouldn't a street and strip do well?
the engine is in a y2k accent i ran a libero witha 4g93T and delt with him he only passed me when i was in fifth gear

The Valve seals are the major reason why most used 20v's burn oil .When the engine is parked up in containers for months the seals deteriorate through lack of use.

^^^very very true most likely its ur valve stem seals if ur compression is up to par..

i checked the compression and all cylinders are beautiful so i think its the valve seals for real, where do u'll think i can get good ones other than toyota cuzz they don't have

someone was telling me that u can coat your clutch in copper and achive about 20% of a real copper clutch for less money..but i dont know how much sence that makes.
a place in st james does it

[relaps]

yeah i heard about that i think they put copper beads on the clutch for about $300
and you only have to wait 45 mins
but that clutch will be to harsh for everyday driving
