So heres a head scratcher for any of you willing to accept the challenge.
I bought my Hilux surf 2 months ago and was belting out smoke under load. After some research and chats to a diesel specialist, i re built the top end (new head as they are prone to cracking, cam, valve seals, head gasket). Disappointingly this changed nothing, to the point where oil was dripping from the exhaust tip, so i presumed the seals in my turbo were shot as its leaking intake side and exhaust side so on went the new turbo. Again nothing changed so i bit the bullet and presumed it was down to worn bores and high crankcase pressure.
Removed and stripped the engine, re bored to +0.5mm, new pistons, rings, big end bearings, new injectors and obviously replacing all gaskets along the way. Removed the PCV valve on the rocker for maximum ventilation and is still blowing smoke and is still oil seeping out of both sides of the turbo (mainly exhaust). This has improved the amount of smoke but is still very smoky on start up and running considering its practically a new engine. Please send help!
Thanks in advance.
