I just recently purchased a ca18det motor from a friend for really cheap. The thing is the oil seal blew on the turbo while he was running it and oil got into the intake track and intercooler. He said when it blew smoke never came out the exhaust. So i was wondering how i should go about fixing this motor up. My friend already ran a compression test and everything checked out fine. But, I was thinking i should gently clean the sensors which may have been effected by the oil, and then i thought i would take some carb cleaner and try and run it through the intake track. If you guys have any input on what i should do that would be great.

thanks in advanceblake keirnessammamish,washington

Seafoam. Go to your local auto parts store and pick some up. Read the directions on the bottle. Works well.
