Truck is burning around 2 qts every 1,000 miles. This is new within the last 2 months. On start up it smokes like crazy, after it ma running down the road it clears up. **** it off for 5 mins, start it back up its back to smoking like crazy. Sometimes the power is just not there either until it revs up a bit and blows all the smoke out. I am guessing it is leaking into the cylinders????? I installed new injector o rings last fall. What am I missing? Would worn out injectors leak oil into the cylinders?

 

Is your oil filter black? How's the blow by? Have you checked the turbo for any wheel play or see any oil residue on the exhaust?

 

Here's a bump for ya. Out of my league on this for the most part but is there any chance it's your turbo seal leaking and it's going into your exhaust housing? I'm thinking that if oil got into your cylinder(s) hydro lock could/would be happening.

 

Sounds like o-rings unless you have bad blow by. Like said, check the fuel filter to start. Any oil in the tail pipe? That could be turbo. Just seems like it's getting by the o-rings and filling the cylinder when you shut it off. It will burn the oil when running. That would be the easy fix.

 

It sure wouldn't be the first time someone messed up the O rings on the injectors, not lubing them up sufficiently before reinstalling them. That's my first guess..


Or you need to check your injector torque again.

 

Thank you guys for the areas to check. I did check the injector torque last week when I shimmed the injector armatures. I will have to check the other areas. The turbo and such. I thought I lubed the injectors pretty good, with that said I am not putting it past myself for possibly messing them up.

 

I just checked for blow by when fueling up. It is definitely there . What does that mean for me?

is she dieing?? 😭

 

How bad is it?

 

It would take one puff for the cap to come off.

i took a video but I can post at the moment. I am driving down the road. And it only gives me an option to post pictures directly off my phone.

 

Dam that sucks brother, unfortunately blow by is only caused by bad rings/broken rings.

 

Would a bad valve seal give you a little blow by. Cause oil loss and smoke at crank up?

 

No you can't have blow by from a worn out valve stem but you can have oil draining down causing the smoke. Unfortunately his sound severe if the cap flew off.

 

Finally got the link. This is what I have.

For those who know, how bad is that blow by shown in the video? I was expecting the cap to really fly off.

 

That's severe.
