Have noticed quite a decent trace of oil in intake crossover pipe on this thing - was hoping that's just the umm relaxed clearances in turbo engines letting a little blow-by past?

Puffwagon Trust me bro... Gold Donating Members 16,049 Member For: 9y 11m 14d Gender: Male Location: South Australia Posted 10/03/17 04:38 AM Share Posted 10/03/17 04:38 AM I bought a socket today and swapped the blade control arms. Here is the farked passenger side Here is the passenger side removed Here is the new one installed This is the farked drivers side And here's the farker installed It went smoothly without any major upsets so that was good. The clunk remains however so I'll be looking at it another day when it's a bit cooler. 4 hours ago, k31th said: if your cam phaser seals are doing what they should be doing, then they won't be leaking at all FTFY According to my hp tuners scanner the cam phasers are working. It's just leaking seals mate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The missus came outside and wondered what all the smoke was about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
