Basically i have a 87 7MGTE that loves to eat my oil as much as going fast. It uses probably around a 1 Quart pr 300 Miles... This can vary a lot depending on if i do any pulls or not.
I figured out it either have to be the Valve seals or the Turbo, pretty sure piston rings are good. Its said that the engine was overhauled back in 06`, so if im lucky it might just be the turbo ?
Anyway what im asking for is some tips at how to be sure if its either seals, turbo or maybe both ?
Im currently running a stock engine except for studs and a MHG. Turbo is set at 1Bar/14.5 Psi wich might be bit to much for that poor guy..
The smoke wich is coming when its at idle can go from being very thick and another day it can barely smoke. When im driving i cant see any smoke at all, but what people that have been driving behind me have said is that when i floor it, it spitts out one cloud then it just accelerates nice.
If im driving nice and dont boost to much, it doesnt consume that much oil that it does when im giving it pulls.
Thought it was good idea to add that im running on 5W-30 Toyota Oil wich might just make the case worse ?
Thanks in advance for any advices, this oil problem realy makes it a lot less fun to drive this beauty
Cheers, Roy
