I just did a valve adjustment to the truck and I noticed after driving it started puking white smoke out the exhaust. Pulled into work, popped the hood and see some oil under the turbo, notice oil coming out the back of turbo. So I got oil dumping into my exhaust. I set the intake at .008 and the exhaust at .015, is this possibly to tight on the exhaust or did I screw something up? I'm gonna go through it again in the morning and check clearances again.
 
Is it comming from the turbo or from the engine it self. U can pull the manifold to find out.
 
not sure, haven't had a chance to work on it yet. Is it possible I got one of the valves adjusted wrong and now pouring oil out? I'm going to run them again tomorrow, if there ok I'll pull the turbo.
 
truck seems to run ok, I babied it back home. I can't really tell if theres oil around the manifold or not, to dark to see well.
 
If I can't see any oil around the manifold, I suppose I'll pull the turbo and see if there's any oil in the manifold.
 
I think I would start with the turbo frist. It dose not take long to pull the turbo, plug the turbo supply and run it to see if it is the engine or turbo.
 
Looks like it's the turbo. Pulled it off and the manifold was dry.
