Hello all,
I have a 1998 jeep Cherokee 4.0 with 150,000 miles. I am getting considerable amounts of white smoke/steam out of the exhaust even after it has gotten up to operating temp. So I don't believe it to be condensation.
Compression tests were all good, 160-165 throughout.
Used a block tester multiple times (blue liquid in tube) no reaction.
I suppose I need to do a leak down test next but that will require me buying an air compressor and testing kit. I just want to hear if anyone knows of a reason the exhaust would be smoking besides coolant making its way into a combustion chamber.
I thought about leaking valve stem seals but I don't see any blue tint in the smoke, usually indicative of oil burning.
I'll include a link to a short video of the exhaust, video was taken after jeep had been up to operating temp. Sometimes it will smoke worse.
