drb5721 is an unknown quantity at this point
The oil burning and smoke started on first startup post coolant repair and manifold swap. Will check timing. Compression shouldnt be an issue as the engine runs extremely smooth all the way throughout the RPM range. I initially thought my issue was the loose clamp on the oil return. Again however, the oil burning was there before driving the car. Had a friend at work today check the shaft play in the turbo since its my day off, and he says its got a good amount of play, so rebuild/replacement was inevitable . Will see if i have a bung I can install a wideband sensor in. Will check compression.
