Re: G2 - Blue smoke - Out of ideas
I actually did do it. The oil control rings on my G 14 were bad which is very common on the G2-14 engine. My compression reading was 152 dry and 175 wet. When I tore the engine down the cylinder/piston clearance was beyond max spec. It would burn 1/2 quart of oil in 2 miles leaving an incredible trail of blue smoke behind it. I did EXACTLY what I recommended and drove the cart another 350 hours before I started to see wisps of blue smoke again. There are pics of my second G14 tear down after the 350 hours with my thread in the gas yamaha section at which point I went VC 460 and parted out and sold my G14 parts for $950. I still have the piston here if you want a pic of it.

At this point, theres really only 2 options, because the snake oil is not going to fix the smoke. 1. Call don plowman and discuss with him, I'd expect $1300ish for a rebuild, but know it is done right and probably better than it ever was from the factory. If I were having an engine rebuilt he is the only one I would trust doing a full rebuild like that. 2. Vegas carts swap. Not many other options available. If it were mine, ran good, 150+ compression, I'd do as ray said. But if it only lasts a year or two I dont mind doing the work again, it's not hard to pull the engine and do the work. Actually that's what I did do and it still runs great. But if someone isnt comfortable doing it themselves, a local machine shop will charge as much as plowmans and not do nearly the quality of work. Just my .02 |

Re: G2 - Blue smoke - Out of ideas
The only down side there is you are going to need Aaron or Don to pull the old engine out and install whatever one you buy.

And just so everyone knows, I don't come here to compare funnels. I come here to help people with their golf cart questions. Let's stick to that Ray. I don't require anyone to take my suggestions, but I would never suggest anything that will ruin an engine, and I would never suggest anything that I haven't done with success. Will "snake oil" rebuild an engine? Nope. Could it help. Yep. That is all men. Carry on. |

I agree, that's why I like vanguards, install them and you are done!!!! Many years of worry free service. Just change the oil and FILTER, maybe some new plugs once in a while and some fuel, that is it. Engines on the bench aren't going anywhere!! LOL!! I enjoy cruising my carts around! |
