jbuller
2001 4x4 powerstroke
ok i tested the turbo thery
ok heres what i did to test it just now. i disconected the intercooler pipeing from the turbo on the cool side so that it is just blows into the air. well i ran it like that for 5 minutes or so and no change in the smoking? the compressed air that the turbo was blowing was not oily so i dont think that is where my problem is plus it still smoked while the turbo was not blowing into the engine.
i still may be missing somthing with the turbo i dont know if it has another way of getting oil into the combustion chanber?
only 2 or 3 more ways oil is geting to the exaust in my opinion
1. badly wore rings on the pistons
2.umbrella seals on valve stems are cracked/dryrotted/not on right
3.some sort of tear or hole in the headgasket seal.
i can put a compression test on it but how will that tell me the problem?
