Cruising or under h abt acceleration it doesn’t seem as bad. Anyways, had it checked out and it is not turbo seals or valve stem seals but a suspected ring issue in #6 due to excessive oily plug. funny thing is it is not burning excessive oil (not showing on dip stick) and still gets up and boogies with no dramas at all with great oil pressure readings etc. anyone else been down this lonely garden path?

White smoke does come out of the can also at times. Edited 06/07/18 11:37 PM by Dean01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
