turbo rebuild?
« on: April 18, 2008, 04:07:08 pm »
For those of you experts:
I just rebuilt the 6cyl vw out of a volvo (d24t) and had it running great, finally got the timing right.  However, it is now smoking alot a bluish white smoke.  Upon investigation, I removed the intake and there is oil dripping out of the compressor side of the housing.  There is also a significant amount of front to back (axial?) shaft play on the turbo shaft.  Probably at least 1/8" movement.

Does this sound like rebuild time?
