Huge white smoke from exhaust?
Hey Guys...
After just getting my engine broken in... Took it out today to try and see why the second turbo was not coming in that strong. Only 3 psi after 6000 rpm. I was at about 6500 rpm and phooofhh. Engine still ran fine but... lotts and lotts of white smoke coming from the exhaust.... enough for a couple blocks ...
I couldn't have imagined a o-ring cause my rebuilder put in new ones. I checked the plugs and they look normal. And it was not a Apex seal- the car Idles nicely... but Smokes really bad...
I have had the primary turbo changed to a newer unit and Wastegate has been ported. Do I have a exhaust manifold that could be cracked? I also checked the exhaust and oil and I think
some excess coolant was in the tailpipe. Stank really bad as well.
Any ideas? jc

Most cases, since you have a new motor and it runs fine after the white smoke, then it could very well be the seals on your turbos. If you start using oil, then its the turbos, if you start using coolant, then its the motor.
