el_freddo Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Have you looked at the turbo? You could have a blown seal that’s leaking oil into the intake or the exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bajablasted06 Posted October 23 Author Share Posted October 23 It smokes a fair bit out of the oil filler but i didn't notice any blow by maybe a tiny bit at idle but goes away however the smoke goes up with rpm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvu Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 For testing, unplug the pcv hose to the intake and block off the port. That way you can rule out pcv related oil consumption. Did you have pictures of the cylinder walls before replacing the rings? If it was smooth and lost the crosshatching, chances are the new rings won't break in properly.

el_freddo Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Apologies, I thought all bajas were turbo for some reason. I’ve only ever seen one in person when I was in the states in 2009, even then that was in traffic on the Las Vegas strip so not an up close for a good look over it. I’m out of ideas. If the re-ring was done properly I can’t see where it would be potentially sucking oil in to be smokey and consume oil. We’re all rings replaced and were they gapped correctly?

bajablasted06 Posted October 24 Author Share Posted October 24 With pcv disconeted still burns oil i let it run for several minutes incase of residual the cylinder walls were honed when when the rings were put in and the rings were gapped but it seemed like it only worked for 300 miles before starting to smoke bad I think Ill either tear it down and do rings again and measure everything to make sure its in speck or grab a junkyard short block to through in thanks you all for your ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
