Turbo smoke? 88 SPG Posted by SaabStalker [Email] (#1098) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SaabStalker) on Sun, 2 Dec 2012 17:34:32 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Had to replace clutch hyd cyl, so replaced clutch also. On test drive in country found top hose clamp not tight enough so hose came off at inlet. Engine did not over heat. Scavanged some creek water, and when i got home changed out anti-freeze. I let engine idle about 20 minutes until thermostat opened, fans came on. That did not happen when hose came off. again engine did not get hot or overheated. Well I saw a lot of oil smoke from exhaust , but when i reved engine it cleared in a minute. I have seen some smoke occasionally in the past. I have not done a compression check to check rings or valve guides/seals. what circumsatnces about the turbo can cause this oil smoke?
