Any updates yet?
It's better, but still uses oil. It's not leaking it on the ground, it's not burning blue smoke. They changed all the o-rings on the injectors, replaced the other two injectors that were still old. Truck now runs quiet and smooth. First time since I have had it...but still uses oil. It is also smooth when you first start it but will idle a bit rough after running it. If you shut it down and restart after a few moments it is smooth again. I am so depressed that I can hardly stand it. From what I can tell the turbo was not removed like I wanted so I will still need to do that to see for myself for sure. Said he inspected turbo and it showed no signs of shaft play, or leaking from looking without removal. The struck still smokes medium to dark black on medium to hard accelleration. Power is good. And as a plus there is no more oil smoke from under the hood after running on the interstate.
Is there any way an injector can leak oil internally without it being an outside o-ring? (leak inside the injector?)
I have worked it 24 hours in the last 48 and it has used 2 quarts every 100 to 125 miles.
I am also wondering about my fram oil filter...I saw someone mentioned it will make the engine oil foam on this engine. At this point I don't think I will ever need to change oil again because it use it up too fast.
If I pull the turbo what type of seals a gaskets do I need?
