Engine pumping oil through
Discussion
Engine been sat for 6 months. Freshly fitted rebuilt turbo. Started - missing on 2 cylinders, billowing masses of smoke out. Plugs on the missing cylinders soaked in oil and fuel. Tested furl and ignition systems, all seems to be working. Misfiring cylinders must be down to the amount of oil pumping through.
It would seem to me the engine is pumping huge amounts of oil through either rings or from the head.
However compression tested seems good to new, results below.
Checked under rocker cover, nothing obviously sticking open.
Taken manifold off, you can see below, 2cyl clean, one a little oily, one very very oily.
Any ideas?!
