Re: Turbo and engine restorers

posted by  someone claiming to be David M on  Sat Dec 8 14:14 CST 2001 [RELATED]

First you have to know if it's the engine or the turbo. If it's the turbo, you get the smoke when accelerating from idle, but (mostly) it goes away pretty quickly. This would indicate the rear oil seal of the turbo is worn.

If it's the rings, then you'll notice a serious loss of compression. Have you had your compression tested? I brought two B230FT's past 250k and never lost compression. (I did have to rebuild one of the turbos, though.)
