well i got tuned and i was driving around beatin on the car a lil bit and it just started to putter and progressively got worse until it sounded like it was running on 3 cylinders. i limped it home and pulled the plugs. cylinders 1 and 2 were fine. 3 and 4 were covered in oil, along with the spark plug wire (leaking tube seals). it was a lot of oil on each plug to the point it was dripping off and onto the ground when i pulled it. the nuts holding the valve cover down on the left side by those two cylinders were kinda loose and i think thats how the oil got down in them. well i replaced the tube seals and cleaned up the tube a little with a rag. i started the car back up, but didnt drive anywhere. i let it idle for about 10-15 seconds and it was blowing a lot of blue smoke. obviously from the oil being in the combustion chamber. how long should it take for this to burn off? i dont know if its driving better since i just finished with it and im going to bed. im gonna drive it tomorrow morning around the block and see how it does.

 

blue smoke = oil
white smoke = gasket
honestly it deapends on how much oil is in the cylinder let it idle untill it stops also have you checked the gasket an did you do a leakdown test before the turbo was put on

 

didnt do a leakdown test, but i did a compressino test months ago and it was fine. the number 3 spark plug wasnt tightened down enough and was kinda loose. and the nuts on the left side of the valve cover were not as tight as they should be. from what i can tell, oil leaked from the tube seals into the 3 and 4 chamber and fouled the plugs out. it seemed like a good bit of oil. i pulled the cover off and re did everything. hopefully it will be fine tomorrow.

 

ok best of luck

 

your rings probably went, do a leakdown

 

wouldnt it be kinda weird that my rings went in 3 AND 4 at the same time though? plug the oil on the spark plug wire and the tube leads me to be believe its just the tube seals. gotta hope for the best right?

 

did a leakdown test and my rings are gone.
cylinder 1 - 15%
cylinder 2 - 11%
cylinder 3 - 89% !!!
cylinder 4 - 11%

 

blue smoke is just not good. now you can build it. be positive about it.

 

yeah i can, but im a college student and this is my daily driver. so going without the car still sucks.

 

what was this tuned with?

 

the infamous cylinder 3

 

crome pro

 

hope the ringlands didn't go.

 

damn man that sucks hope you get that **** fixed.

 

just gonna do a stock rebuild for now and start on building a block thats sleeved and can handle some high hp.
