Still Smoking!!
Hey guys, i hate my FD right now
Just wondering can the motor leak oil internally, is there any way to test this out?? or if the turbo seals are blown?
It still continues to smoke, even though i put that oil inlet restrictor in. Im hoping it not the motor and just the ebay turbo.
The car idles smooth and revs nice...just spits out an unbearable amount of white possibly blueish smoke.
Anyone got 5,000 dollars i can borrow that i can pay back in 24 months. Im tired of working on this =(

One thing i noticed when i took out the spark plugs when i was having that flooding problem...no oil...just the spark plugs had clear liquid on them which was gas.

I had the same problem with my car. It would smoke around the engine after I drove it 20+ minutes. Sometimes when started a thick dark smoke would come out the exhaust. It would idle poorly. When i would pull the plugs there was gas. I replaced the engine though thinking it was apex seals because i'm an idiot. It turns out that it is probably just a leaky injector. I would definetely check this out before making any irratic poor decisions like i did and blow 4k! Although i did get me a new street ported engine...

I just read ur other post bud. I know its not the injectors anymore cause i fixed that problem and im no longer flooded. But im still smoking! I dont think its a coolant seal since the motor was just rebuilt and it starts right up. Its just that it smokes. Im gonna go home today and check out the spark plugs again.
