Later engines dont have that style of pump, its a piston type pump and
does not blow the air back to the manifold.

The new turbo sounds like a police siren a couple blocks back
and that is NORMAL for the Volvo!
It is also what a Cummins sounds like if you do not have
the silencer ring installed in the input throat of the
turbo. It's some kind of big washer doodad that wrecks
whatever airflow is allowing

Smoke on acceleration is often a bad turbo -- I know someone who got a
W140 for next to nothing (less than $8000 a year or so ago) because it
blew so much blue smoke -- not bent rods in that case, but a blow turbo
dumping oil in the exhaust.
Valve guide seals won't fix leaking guides, anyway,

Wow. Luther, if Marshall recommends a compression test (which he never does),
then you should do that first :)

Worn out guides usually results in worn out valves and starting
problems cold -- turbo seals are a good place to look.
I do have an on topic turbo story, although not a Benz. I also have a
Volvo TD sedan -- nice car, 2.4L turbo diesel turning out 115 hp or so,
but a little smoky and sluggish

I dont think valve seals will cause that kind of burn. I would look for
a low cylinder, or maybe the turbo is dumping oil into the system. How
much blowby do you have?

yeah, but it is much easier to take out the cam so you can get to the
valves easily. that is where the air comes in. You DON'T want to be
dropping valves into the cylinders, unless you are p
You will need to employ some method of keeping the valves from
falling into the engine. Constant air pressure is the best way to
accomplish this.
On these diesels merely putting the piston in the right place
will usually do the job, or so I hear.

Yes, I do see the smoke and do not keep the oil level above the midway mark
between Add and Max. I usually let it drop to the Add mark or slightly below
before I add 1 or 2 quarts. I'll check it the next day and usually it's nearly
exactly at the middle of the add/max.

How common is it for the valve stem seals to be a major source of oil
burn?
My understanding on these diesels, especially the turbo-diesels,
is 'not very'. The turbos run with positive manifold pressure
a good portion of the time, which means that the prevailing
winds (so to speak) are pushing
Hows the turbo? Seems like a lot of oil for just the valve stem seals.
