Hello and welcome back to our series on automotive tools and how to guides for the new weekend warrior auto mechanic. This isn't meant for the professional, but rather the average Joe who is looking to get his hands a little dirty on the weekends. In the past, we have covered a lot of tools but in today's article I'm going to cover your engine's lubrication system. Without proper lubrication your engine would eventually seize and destroy itself.

What the lubrication system does is it essentially keeps oil moving through or past your engine's critical moving parts. A brief list would be the crankshaft, camshafts, connecting rods, pistons, lifters, valve springs. Anything with lots of movement and metal on metal contact generally need to be lubricated. The reduction in friction also lowers the engine's operating temperature.

All of this circulation is done by the oil pump. Typically your car's oil pump will be located done in the oil pan and operates by force driven off of the camshaft or crankshaft. The oil filter removes any large debris that may be in the oil circulation before the debris has a chance to damage critical engine components. Of course, the secondary benefit of reducing friction is that the parts won't wear against each other as quickly as they would otherwise. This in turn contributes to a longer engine life. With all of these things in mind you can see why changing your oil on a regular basis is so important. More than that - what kind of oil you use matters as well. Reducing friction is not an easy job.

When There's Smoke…in your Car

When your car’s engine suddenly turns up smoke, you need not to panic; and knowing why this happens will help you stay calm.

Smokes in the engine occur because it may be worn. There is a possibility for a worn engine to smoke due to oil leaks into the cylinders around worn valve guides, or worn oil rings, or both. Under these circumstances, white smoke will be produced. This is process is oil burning. This is differentiated from fuel burning, wherein a rich fuel problem creates black smoke.

When you start the engine after it had been resting for hours and you drag white smoke, the problem could be worn valve guides. While the car is at rest, oil that lies on the cylinder leads the leaks into the cylinders. Since the engine is at rest, the oil sufficiently gathers that causes a momentarily smoke once the engine is started.

There is no need to rush or to be hysterical as long as the smoking engine does not affect spark plugs too often and can still pass emission tests. The only bad news is that you cannot use your car for a while to ensure safety. Under this circumstance, it is best to bring your car to a mechanic to immediately resolve the problem.

Sometimes, the problem could be other parts like the muffler. Ask a mechanic to know if your Dynomax muffler already needs a replacement.

When you are on the road and your car suddenly begins to belch out white smoke and something broke, immediately park it and start scheduling a rebuild or a replacement for your engine.

A white smoke coming from your engine implies a tired engine. It therefore needs a complete rebuilding. Unless you can do the rebuilding by yourself through your owner’s manual as a guide, take your car engine to a reliable auto repair shop. Let the cylinders, block deck cylinder head(s), rods, engine heads, and crankshaft be repaired. Buy a master engine kit that contains piston rings, main, rod and camshaft bearing, a new camshaft (stock) and lifters, timing gears and timing chain, oil pump of normal volume, freeze plugs, gaskets and seals. It is also best to have a new water pump.

Keep this in mind: Never ever attempt to rebuild the engine by yourself without properly understanding what are written in the manual and well functioning accurate tools. And if you are doing it for the first time, be sure to have the assistance of someone who has the knowledge on this matter.

Make sure to always rebuild your engine as it was originally built to avoid future damages, minimize cost and effort and to assure longer engine life.

Exact factory replacement engines are available for some cars. And you will be surprised because they are sold under a just enough price. These are known as factory crate engines. These are top of the line brand new engines that are made by the car manufacturers and have a fair warranty. Your car dealer can give you the options. Then canvas the price among dealers and suppliers to find the quality yet affordable one.

Remember not to do a rebuild by yourself when you are not prepared. For sure, you just cannot do the right job and you will probably end up having an injury. A good rebuild needs a quality engine lift and then followed by pulling the engine. You are assured of less hassle in the future when you are able to do the right rebuild.

If your car is high mileage, say over 100K miles, you may pull the engine and transmission together. After doing such, you can rebuild them both at once.

gm 3800 series II rebuild?

I have a broken exhaust valve because the compression is low in cylinder 3 and its misfiring but not too bad. I was just wondering should i take this time to rebuild the engine because it has like 199,000 miles on it but it has never given me any trouble. I think i'm gonna grasp this opportunity to rebuild the engine but i need to know what to inspect before i get ready to tear it down. I'm gonna start this weekend i already have the head gasket kit, and exhaust valves but before i taske the heads to the machine shop for resurrfacing what else should i inspect (camshaft,bearings, lifters,springs,guides,etc). and the car is a 2003 impala ls with a rebuilt tranny 15k ago.

you need to have the block prepped and checked to see if the cylinder walls and cam bearing are ok, they might need to bore it, but if not then be sure to put copper coating on the block surface under the head gaskets to fill in the pits in the block, it will just reassure that the head gasket seats properly and doesnt blow out.Yes, the 3800 is one of the best engines gm put out and is worth rebuilding, but i would have the block prepped also, hope this helps and good luck. you do need to go ahead and put new valve guide seals in it also, and check the springs for breaks and weaknesses.P.S. be sure to follow the torque sequence carefully because that is a tricky motor and if not torqued properly the gasket will not seat.
