white smoke is coolant

how much shaft play are we talking about?

I can easily move it with my index finger the kind of play that im suprised not rubing on the housing.

Now u said coolant is white smoke ,wouldnt the resovoir get empty at times?

I personally have not run the Precision 6262 JB turbo but a friend had a brand new one on his car and it took a dump on him after less than a 100 miles. He just recently went with the 6266 and hasn't had any problems yet.

I hear a lot of good things about these turbos but just as much bad.

White smoke can also be oil, if it's a LOT of oil. The smell would definitely be the indicator here though. Is there oil in the downpipe or turbine housing of the turbo?

With the engine off, you're going to have a bit shaft play with a journal bearing turbo. Get a little video for us

oil produces a smoke that has a bluish tint to it and it's a fairly thin smoke. coolant is snow white and is thick as clouds.

light-to-moderate oil burning is blue. Heavy oil burning is white, just like coolant, and produces an equally thick smoke

Ever see a honda or subaru with broken ringlands? They smoke JUST like they're burning coolant

That many videos... Seriously?

Don't make me edit your post.

If the turbine seal is just starting to go it should be fairly light smoke. assuming a proper setup I find it hard to believe that a 6262 is already showing signs of failure unless the car was driven super hard for those miles.

op what's your maximum hot and cold oil pressure?

Is not heavy like those videos. And it does not do it every pull . For sure mornings or if i let it sit for more than 6 hrs until it warms up is whiteish. once warm it stops. Then for example, if im driving 60mph and i down shift once the.rpms goes up to 5k it has bluish.tint wideband goes crazy even it stop reading for a minute or so
