Hey guys, help me out.
I rebuilt my engine and it runs great. It has a new injection pump, new injectors 5x12, and an HX35 turbo.
It has 5000 miles on it and now it's smoking blue smoke all the time. idle, acceleration etc.
I think it burns about a quart every 1000 miles or so.
The exhaust smells very fuely....like alot of unburned fuel.
I drove it from California to New Mexico a couple of years ago and it ran great, but I noticed it started smoking when I got to new mexico. One of the injectors was plugged. I had it serviced and it finished the way home. Then I put new injectors on it and it still smokes. It continues to run great, but the smoke is getting a little worse as time goes on.
I've taken the turbo out of the equation. The smoke is coming directly out of the exhaust manifold with the turbo disconnected.
It was hot that summer and the engine did get hot on the way there. Hotter than I thought but never went over the high heat mark, but close to it. And I was not pulling anything, so it should have not go very hot.
Maybe the cylinders were over fueled and it burned the rings?
Maybe there was same bad fuel that ran through the engine and it scored the cylinders?
Maybe it's the valve stem seals.
I don't know. So I need HELP!
Can it get a probe and see inside the cylinders with a camera and see what the cylinders and piston look like?
I hate that my truck is doing this. I just spent alot of time and money to get that engine running perfectly. Now something is messed up.
