Remember this one? 1qt oil burned every 250-300 miles. Compression is
all 320-380, injectors are clean and good spray. Runs like a scared cat
(right Kaleb?). Very minimal drops of oil (2-5 during 9 hours at work)
under car each day and no spray on the bottom or back of the car like my
SD. Where's the oil going?
I R&R'd the turbo today with the one from the '82 300D. Getting the
turbo off the Blue Bomber was a pain. Spent nearly 1.5 hours on the
bottom front nut. Some Kroil, lots of time, and finally the longest 3/8"
ratchet that we had with a pipe wrench on the end at a right angle. Pushing
against the pipe wrench....digging a trench in the ground with my feet, the
nut finally gave way. Anyway.....getting the turbo off the CD was MUCH
easier...less than 30 mins. First thing I noticed when I pulled the turbo
off the CD...the intake manifold inside was COVERED in FRESH oil. Same with
the little tube between turbo and manifold and the turbo inside
itself. There are very minimal amounts of oil in the air cleaner and pipe
that connects to the turbo intake. I am fairly certian this is (was?) the
cause of my oil loss. I will know for sure when I arrive back from StL on
Monday.
