Default whats wrong with the 13brew?
ok 97 13b-rew, 122kms, auto
when the engine is cold(havnt tried while warm) you rev the engine a lil, or alot(mechanics, go fig.) the exhaust makes a popping noise, and the engine fires black smoke out the back, can sound like machinegun fire at around 3-3500 revs, is this fuxored apex seals? or somthing cheaper

any diagnosis would be appreciated

cheers

does it do it at idle? or only when you rev the motor? does it do it at certain RPM or the moment you rev the motor? has the motor ever been re-built?
