wasilla,
Alaska
Ok I got a 90 fwd turbo with the following
272/264 cams
1mm over valves titanium springs and retainers
No balance
20 over je's with eagle rods
2g mani
14b
Afc
450's
255 fuel pump
Stock boost controller
Stock exhaust no muffler (I know I know it's going away soon awd take all my attention)
And some other little stuff but any ways Ive had this problem before but now theres a new addition
This motor has a little over a 1000 miles on it after the rebuild but finally now I think I got most of the vacuum leaks outta it but to the main problem is that on a nice little 3rd to 4th gear pull getting on the high way I started to smell oil burning so I was only about 1/2 mile till home got it home popped the hood and oil every where on the hood next to the cam gear love bulge and all over in the plug valley right by the power steering pump and consecrated by the water neck pipe on the block and the dip stick was popped out as well the oil that was puddled in the plug valley looked kind of funny and thin stuck the old finger tester in it sniffed it smelled like gas...???? And wasn't real oily feeling
The gas smell is the new thing
But
I had the problem with my awd once before as well I corrected it with a new PVC and valve cover gasket and so far hadn't had any problems
Also the fwd had intermittent over heating problems thinking thermo stat but don't know
And as well the fwd had a problem with losing the brake on/after being under boost had to pump them about 2-3 time and they would come back fluid levels looked fine thinking brake booster or master cly. So ya guys have any input or ideas thanks guys in advance
Also be doing a compresion test tomorrow i'll update with readings
