Replaced Valve stem oil seals but still smoke, Please help!


Recommended Posts

You need to do some proper investigation as to what's causing it!!

Do a compression test first and foremost, don't just replace piston rings for the sake of it.

Did the turbo look like it had failed, did you even check? What's the inside of your boost pipes looking like, there could be oil in them? There are so many things it could be.

No oil inside the boost pipes, the turbo didn't fail and had minimal shaft play. After fitting the new turbo core it made no difference at all to the smoking so now sure it's not turbo related, it runs very well but don't see what else could cause now it other than the rings, everything else had been replaced

Not as far as I know, I don't compression test it but after replacing loads of other bits it couldn't have been anything else, runs lovely now more still running in but defo has more of a punch to it. Was a easy enough job to just time consuming
