I finally got my block back from the machine shop and its all good except for the fact that it is smoking big time. Hmmmmmm ....Could it be the fact that the oil pressure isss to high for the seals on my t3. Ill have pressure surge up to like 90 and 40 when im driving.Its really a lot of smoke , im gonna check the plugs and the turbine wheel on the exhaust whee..Ive heard of poeple using some type of restricter on the oil feed line I wonder if that would help. Any input appreciated.

I'm not sure, but I think 90 psi is too much for the seals, It's probly pushing past the seals...

get a needle valve, turn it down, and be happy

Where would i get a needle valve that would match the threads on my fittings?And how would i know to regulate it?

at a hydraulic stuff place (that is the industry term ) just put a mechanical oil pressure guage AFTERT the needle valve and adjust using the guage.

That or just keep turning till no smoke comes out :P
Thanks for the input.

Check to see if your oil return line is big enough. i had the same problem

superpilun

make sure you have sufficient crankcase venting

crxfreak88

Yeah its big enough its the same size most poeple use its like half an inch in diameter

How would someone check to see that in fact there is or is not enough ventalation.
