Exhaust smoke

Post by timnutt »

Hi,

Well the good news is that after re-installing the engine, it started and there are no oil or coolant leaks :clapping:

However, at tickover I get some visible exhaust smoke, not black, but blue/white. And when I increased the revs the quantity of smoke increased.

I turned it off fairly quickly to check under the car for any issues, so I didn't let it run up to running temperature, which I will do later this evening - Also, I haven't set the timing yet as my timing gun is broken, but I doubt that will help...

It had a new head gasket and the head was torqued down using the correct pattern and torque.

Thoughts?
Thanks
TimN

It may clear up after run in but I’d do a compression check to be sure on numbers.

Hi,
I ran it up to temperature, and while it helped a little, I noticed some smoke coming from around the turbo and exhaust manifold. When I increase the throttle there is a large amount of smoke (blue/white) coming from the exhaust. So I'm guessing the seals on the turbo have blown... Is that a fair assumption? Anything else I should be looking for?

Thanks
Tim
