Well the car has been smoking for a while and I thought it was the t25 turbo. I replace the turbo(with garret's version of the s15 turbo) and its still smokes. Now it smokes all the time. It was smoking occasionally and would produce a large cloud and stop. I've been keeping an eye on the oil and its has been the same the last few weeks. I just checked it and it was very low. I pull out the spark plugs to take a look. All where black. 1,2,4 had oil on the threads. No oil on top of the plugs Looking into the chamber i could see a lot of carbon build up and the first piston has a thin layer of oil on it. I have not had the change to go buy the equipment to test for compression and leak down. Does it sound like my piston rings are shot? Oil does smell like gas and I have a strong pulse of air coming from the oil cap when it is taken off while the engine is running. I know its best not to drive it but its my only vehicle at the moment. What has some people spent on rebuilding the complete motor? I have tried looking for my exact symptoms and didn't have any luck. Fun stuff lol!
