Little background info, heads on my pickup have just been rebuilt, this May, new valves, guides, seals, whole ball of wax.
Been driving the pickup for about 2 weeks and still using oil.
I'm not catching it in my homemade catch system, golden rod filter bowl with fine steel wool, and yes I have a CDR too.
No big puddles on the ground.
Tonight I felt directly under the exhaust side of the turbo, and little wet with oil.
The tailpipe signs are just little blue smoke all the time while driving.
The tailpipe exit is not wet.
Now for the bad part, in about 60-70 miles of driving I'm going through just about 1 qt.
Now for the questions.
When I put a new intake pan was for a non turbo, I put more holes in the drain back area, would 4 holes at 5/16 dia be enough???
If the exhaust side oil seal is out would it only smoke a little??
If both sides of the turbo oil seals are out could it burn that much through both sides??
I've got a ATS 88 what kind of cost can I expect for new bearings, seals, maybe even a shaft???
Thanks
