Got the rebuilt motor (valve job, valve seals, crank and rod bearings, T3 turbo) running again but it is smoking pretty good.
Is that normal?
There is no exhaust past the turbo elbow and when i rev it, copious amounts of smoke puffs out. It's not a fuel rich smell, just a oil burning smell.
Before the rebuild, the compression tests looked good but there were some obvious signs of leaking exhaust valves
in #2 and 5 cylinders, hence the rebuild. The motor has over 200,000 miles.
I guess i'll run it some more and then check the plugs.
