ok.. so i pop started my car today.. and theirs oil leaking from somewhere.. b/c its smoking like crazzzy.. and theirs some oil around the turbo manifold.. before i rebuilt the motor the car ran perfect turbo's good.. so i'm trying to figure out what the problem is ?? any help? thanks gary

 

where exactly is it smoking from? the exhaust or engine bay?

 

from the exhaust...

 

if i tried the de flood allot and put oil in the spark plug holes every time and it never started till i push started it .. would tht make allot of smoke and cause the oil light to come on? hahahahahahaha

 

oil light on = low oil in the engine......and yes it will smoke if you keep adding oil to start it up......

 

Is it a new rebuild? How long has it been running/smoking for? If it persists after about 30 minutes of driving, it's more than likely an oil ring problem.

 

ok i ran it for a while and it didnt clear up... there's a ton of oil coming from the turbo manifold.. and smoke pours out.. whats causing the oil to get into the combustion chamber?

 

take the charge pipe off the turbo and see if the turbo is shooting oil into the intake. turbo may need a rebuild.....

maybe the oil feed line is leaking from the turbo and you see oil on the ex manifold.

Or the oil control seals didnt seat right and oil is getting by and into the exhaust ports....u need to check it out and find out

 

If the turbo was fine before the rebuild, and now you've got enough oil that it's soaking the hotside, it's almost certainly the control rings. It's very common to roll/cut/pinch them during install, especially if you use the aftermarket ones.

 

ok. the oil is getting in the hot side.. from the exhaust.. so I'm thinking its GOT to be control rings.. but i just did them .. so now i guess its time to do them again.. any ideas on easy fast rebuilds? lol.. the motors not even broken in

 

what rebuild kit did u use? cast irons resurfaced? can u take it back to the people that rebuilt it for you?

 

i rebuilt it.. motor had 80,000 and ran on 1 rotor .. so i took two housings from a n/a 89 gxl i have.. and the high comp. rotors and built it .. now i guess i put the oil control rings in wrong or something... its taking allot of time to get this car running right

 

The control rings can be quite a pain, especially if for some reason the springs aren't aligned properly (so as to prevent rotation), or even during install as they like to pinch/get cut. It's really kind of hard the first time around, usually you can very closely inspect them after they're installed to see if you notice any tears or minor cuts.

 

ok.. i'm pulling the motor today.. so i guess i'll find out whats up.. thanks for the help.. i think its got to be the oil control rings though lol..
