Another banjo filter, sorry team. I swear these things are going to be the death of me. I thought I got rid of all of them.

Welp, I was told from the shop today that there is a filter inside the sump and it collapsed, causing oil to back up. I am back on the road today, I swear this thing is going to be the death of me

Well, thought it was good, fixed for a few days. Now she’s got oil going back into the intake and the exhaust just like before. I can smell it, the exhaust wasn’t smoking at all, woke up today and , back to where I was. Gonna year it down again, I’ll keep everyone up to date

Ok, well, there was a banjo filter in the oil return line restricting flow, oil was backing up to the sump and over filling the turbo. I thought I got all of the banjo bolts out, but, I guess I didn’t. The shop was not even going to look at the motor, they said they were certain that since I used the head bolts that the reason the car was leaking oil was that. I was frustrated and I asked them if they would look at the pcv system and the scavenger pump system, the angle of the oil lines, I had to have messed up something. They called me back after a few hours and told me I was right. Watch the banjo bolts kids.

taking it to a shop to see if they can figure any of this out. if not, i guess ill tear the motor down and look at seals

This is the banjo bolt the is different than yours.

 

 

 

I think it’s ok?

Thank you. I have the dimple in the correct spot. I know I took the filters out of the bolts.

Leakdown was all 100 psi going in and not one cylinder was more than 7% leakdown. All were about 93-95 holding psi of the 100 psi going in

 

Leakdown test is all pretty good . I think. Here’s the scavenger pump pictures

Third turbo, still the same issue. Smoked right on start up. I think it’s time to pull the motor back out and have a look at what’s going on

Yeah I even took the screens out of the banjo bolts on the scavenger pump. Plus the car ran fine for three days. I think , I could be wrong, but things would get ugly sooner than three days if something wasn’t getting oil or backwards? I’m not sure.

 

My gut tells me that I think something is wrong with the heads or the rings. I know that the compression shows they are all pretty close in psi, but, it smokes right away on start up. That’s not usually a turbo issue, but I could be wrong.

I’ve got another used turbo coming . I’ll be putting that on as soon as it lands.

 

 

I’m just out of options here. I drive it for like three days between the tuning and the normal drives around town to get grocery’s and stuff. Then she started puking oil like mad.

 

Yeah I checked the banjo bolts. Large holes are in the coolant side, small pin hole is in the oil side. Washer are all in the correct spot ...

Does anyone run an AOS on this car or is there a write up on it?

 

I know oil is coming in just fine. So yes I need to check the return , that’s a good idea.

 

The used turbo I picked up could be bad too, it’s possible they both have blown seals I guess.

 

I ran the car today with the vacuum disconnected from the air intake, I just had them venting to atmosphere. I also ran open downpipe to eliminate the idea that there was oil in the exhaust tubes. Still smoking like crazy and oil was in the turbo inlet, however it did not get into The intercooler or TB. I just let the car idle in the driveway, no boost. But I wonder if the BOV is pulling oil from the intake of the turbo and putting it into the intercooler and TB?

 

You can see the oil spots in the garage where it’s actually leaking out the exhaust tubes

Oil in the intercooler, pooling in the TB, the black tube that connects the intercooler to the turbo, all oil filled

Dgoodhue, lots of oil in the plastic tube that Connects the cold air intake to the turbo inlet and the blow off valve. The blow off valve is absolutely soaked, when you manipulate the blowoff valve with your hand it sounds squishy like WAP

If I need rings.... what rings you guys recommend?

Is it possible that I could have a vacuum hose and oil hose mixed up? I downloaded the file, thank you for that, very cool. It’s just the thing is consuming qts of oil, not a little

#1 is 119

#2 is 121

#3 is 120

#4 is 119

Spark plugs are all covered in oil. Doing a compression leak down test now

Heard, yes I took the filters out of those banjo bolts, actually all the banjo bolts.

Sorry about the google img . What app do you guys use to host photos?

This is cylinders 1-3 exhaust ports. They look wet, so that’s possible valve guide, seat issue. But the heads were just done, but that doesn’t mean that they didn’t mess it up.

This is cylinders 2-4, little moist, but not as bad as the other one.

 

So tomorrow I guess compression test? Anything else I can do to see if it’s valves or if the heads are messed up? Maybe an AOS is enough to take care of the oil? Any other ideas team?
