hi all just fitted a new bottom end on my 1994 uk turbo, got it all put together and started it with out the front pipe on but its smoking like hell, was thinking it was oil on the turbo but its very bad, any help would be grate

 

help

 

Ermm which front pipe? and where exactly is it smoking from?

 

Every engine I've put back togeter smokes for about 10 minutes until hot while oil burns of the manifolds and damp/water/oil off the radiator once thats got hot.

Having said that it doesn't mean it's not broken.

 

its coming out or off the turbo,what you mean brocken

 

i will put a vid on tomoz
thanks for the help guys

 

Lewis just keep the engine started and see if it goes away after 10 or 15 minutes.

 

ok mate will do,i will post more tomoz thanks

 

left it for about a hour still smoking,what could it be

 

It's not leaking oil from the oil feed banjo on the top of the turbo and burning off on the exhaust side of the turbo

 

Did you change all the rocker cover gaskets as the driver side is always prone to failure.

 

If your old engine shat its self big time - its quite possible that you have oil residue in the inlet manifold,intercooler,exhaust,turbo etc etc - and will take a long time to burn off.
Failing that - it could be anything internal or external to the engine causing it.
