Am I Being Ucked

[greylee]

i got back my rebuild yesterday and the shit is not anywhere near what i was dreaming about the last 2 months.



here was the chain of events.


old turbo seizes , causing huge oil problem and leaving me with a car that dosnt go over 20 mph .

im forced to drive on it for lack of other transportation for about 200 miles

i buy a almost mint condition turbo and have it installed


20 miles down the road i hear a knocking . drive it home another 10 miles and send it out to the shop

bought a rebuild from dsm graveyard

had it instaled

have only drove 20 miles but im getting alot of white smoke in park .

mechanic tells me that the turbo has shaft play now.






the turbo was a solid rebuilt turbo at least it looked .
zero shaft play , i just dont get how running 20 miles on a cranking engine could destroy a new turbo . think the mechanic swapped it?


and the engine is still getting really hot , like scolding hot . is this normal for dsms even a rebuild?

theres also no oil if you check from the intake side and it smokes bad when i stop at lights. idk if this is just because you cant see it when im driving or what but if i stop at a light and turn off the engine the smoke almost instantly stops.

Any turbo that is on an engine that blows needs rebuilt. The bad part is that all of the bearing materal in that turbo from the engine failure is now in your new engine.

Fresh rebuild usually heat up quicker and run a little hotter, because everything is pretty tight. White smoke is a sign of coolant being burned in the cylinders. How does your oil look? Do a compression test.
