I need some help and some advice please.. I have a 1990 Plymouth Laser, I blew the stock TD05H-16G turbo so i went and bought a EVO III 16g turbo off guy on KSL, there was no play in it and was really clean was real good and ran GREAT!! but couple days later on my way to work i notested my car was blowing out smoke i didn't think anything of it at first, though ok, its 6am its cold out side, and my system is still puffing out all the oil from blowing my turbo, well got worse when I drove home. Ok, here is one area i need the advice, Whats causing the smoke, At first start up, it doesn't smoke, once it starts to warm up a little slowly starts smoking and gets worse and worse.. wile i am driving steadily doesn't seem to do it, but i give it more gas or step into it puffs cloud of smoke, and when i stop and idle looks like military issue smoke bomb is going off, smoke pours in thru the windows and the car and cars behind me don't get very close,
, So! first thought was the piston rings, did compression test came up good, on all cylinders, but from what i herd doesn't mean too much, if the top ring is good but the scrapper if bad still smoke but still hold compression.. and I had a friend tell me if the rings where shot car would run really bad and have hard time starting ect, witch doesn't starts and runs great! expect has a bit of an idle flux, gos up and down, i haven't figuard that out yes either but not huge concern right now,
SO! I read on other forums and couple friends they where almost cretin its the Valve Stem Seals. Any Advice on that please! its my Daily Driver and need to get it going and its my only car right now, and honestly lost my job since all this happened..

Ok 2nd part!
As I just said people brought up the valve seals so i went and got em, only 30ish bucks, figuard, cars about 22yrs old might as well do them regardless its time too, SO tore into it, removed the cams (keep in mind im doing this with out removing the head i cant afford a head gasket kit and i do that might as well just rebuild the motor and cant even afford that)
anyway I can not get the valve springs to compress!! and really really upsetting and irritating me, went and rented 2 different type of valve spring compressors! they wouldn't fit and get them to work, so im stuck, and really need advice or someone to please help me or at least show me how to do it please please, i don't have much could throw down a little bit of money or a bottle or case of beer, or something,
please get back with me thank you!!!
