Just started rebuilt turbo engine and let it heat up to normal temp. It is quite smokey the only thing that was not rebuilt was the turbo. Is this likely to be the culprit. Engine was out of a Metro and was not started prior to rebuild.

when you say rebuild has it been re-bored and crank ground, if so then it does sound like it could be the turbo.. Alan Main Build

What the spec of the engine pistons etc also has the guides been done on the head, we really. Need more information, to give you a decent diagnosis to your problem.

if the guide seals are years old or the guides are worn it could well be them...........

I would look on ebay for a reconditioned unit and be careful of the places that you find, look at there feed back ect.. or maybe some one on TM may be able to recommend some place they have used, that would be better, sorry I cant help with that.. Alan Main Build

And about the guide seals if they are the standard ones that are in the gasket sets, they don't seem to be any good for the turbo engines.. Main Build
