URQ- blue smoke
MY 83 URQ has been smoking-alot- not on, but just after, start up - billows of
blue smoke. It take about five minutes to go away. First noted rarely about a
year ago, then occasionally, now constantly. The car has just had new valve
guides (and lifters) done for excessive oil use, which has resolved that
problem, but the smoke problem has gotten worse since then(still without
detectable oil consumption). From what I know this would fit the description of
a turbo oil seal failure. Is there anyway to know for sure? The car has an MC
motor, with about 115K on it, and runs really strong with the original URQ
injection, turbo and electronics (chipped). If this is the problem, is it a DYI
type job (assuming basic workshop manual reading and wrenching skills)? Thanks
in advance for all your responses. Rob Greene
