Since my last post I've gotten it running again after sealing the exhaust manifold studs and the intake manifold bolts and it was still smoking. Pulled the dipstick while it was running and the smoke was coming out of there too, with a puff every time the engine fired a cylinder. Ran to my...

The video in question. It should be noted that this video was taken a couple minutes after turning the engine off after it ran for a minute. There was no smoke for about 45 seconds once I got the spark timing figured out and it running smoothly. After my last post helped me discover that my old...

Working on my 87 Daytona Shelby Z. Turbo II with the 5 speed. Been trying to figure this out for almost a year now. New head gasket, though the old one didn't appear damaged. Replaced turbo when I got the old one out and found massive play on the compressor wheel (plus oil in the outlet and...

SOLVED Thanks Hey, I believe that my Turbo has finally bit the dust. Has side to side shaft play, and I get a nice cloud of blue smoke at idle once the engine is all warmed up. I'm not an expert on the differences between turbos over the years besides the mitsubishi and garrett, but I am...

I had oil smoke coming out exhaust with a slight knock on a 90 vnt Daytona I bought. I put a rebuilt motor in it and a rebuilt turbo from turbos r us. After about 20 minutes it started smoking again. A little at idle and when stopping at stop sign, none seen driving or under accellerayion. I...

My turbo was giving too much boost and cutting out, also made a bit of a whine. I took my car to a mechanic, but they told me they can't fix turbos? In the mean time I think I may have blown the turbo. I was revving it up and it went boom! Smoke everywhere, can still drive but sounds...

A friend asked me to help him try to fix his Lebaron, but I don't know too much about 2.2T's. It's an early-mid 80's lebaron, not sure of exact year. I can only get to the car when he's around, so I figured I'd get an idea of whats wrong so I have an idea what to look for. The issue is that when...

Hey guys i just bought an 85 daytona, It runs great, boosts great, but it smokes when it gets hot. It smells like gasoline smoke, not oil or coolant smoke, and the oil and coolant levels haven't moved. I was told it was the MAP sensor? Anything i can do to confirm that is what it is?

I started my Daytona today and was stumped when I opened the hood. I could see light smoke rising from the rear/passenger side in the engine bay. Coming from behing the valve cover. I took a flashlight but really couldn't tell where the source was but it was back there someplace. I shut it off...
