Smoking problem?

hey guys i have a 1990 civic wagon si ... (which i will have pics of it up soon fo you all to see)
The kid i bought it from Had put new rings in it and the motor is a d15b bottom and a d16y8 head on it ...
now the car was burning oil but i took care of that ... now after it gets warmed up and running good
it start smoking a blue smoke ... like its feeding to much fuel into the rail or injectors but it doesnt bog or anything
im thinking its either the fuel rail, injectors, or fuel pressure regulator....
If you could give me some pointers i would deeply appreciate it
thank you for reading
daniel

    Black would be overfueling, wouldn't it? I would think blue would be something like rings or valve stem seals.

    There is a posibility that it was not run in properly after the rings were done and they havnt seated well?

    welcome.

    Haydz is right, blue smoke is oil. Fuel smoke(rich) is black and sooty


    not sure if that applies to wagon si, though...

    Oh yeah... Wagon Si. Sorry mate - no such trim level.
  • well i have one i will show you some pictures tomorrow...
    well really i havent even put over 500 miles on the new rings in the motor so they may be still seating...
    but i dont take it over 65 mph so does that help ... but i have noticed that every day i drive it the smoke gets less and less noticable but i want to thank you for the input by the way every input bad or good is positive for me
    thank you guys

    Nah mate someones just put the badge on the back of your car. The RT4WD wagon was the same trim level as the Si, the FWD is the same as DX for the most part.

    If its lean i think its a greyish smoke.
  • yeah its really grey with a small blue tint ... but for the most part grey ...
    actually you were right Haydz sorry about that ... yeah i think that its a dx trim ... sorry mate
    so does anyone have any suggestions on interior upgrades to work on first ...
    i was on ebay and i found alot of cool stuff like a kmph speedo and the middle console, a short shifter, i was just wondering what some recomendations would be.
