Burning oil!!

[420Ant2G]

Well I usually can figure most of this shit out but right now I'm clueless. My car has been smoking on start up and after you drive it a while it goes away (mostly) I bought the turbo with known shaft play (little side to side, and little in and out) The valve seals are fine and the compression is 150 across the board, although the valve cover I put on has all the baffling taken out of it and I'm running the hose from the valve cover to the intake manifold...do you think it's possible that because the baffling is taken out the oil vapors are going into my intake manifold causing it to smoke ??? Help me out guys
Thanks
Travis

if you have a little shaft play are you sure it is not your turbo? If the valve cover has no baffling taken out put a filter in between the valve cover and the intake manifold to catch all the oil and see if that helps you any

Are you talking about an inline fuel filter? just cut both ends and throw the filter in...as for the turbo it could be the seals I was going to rebuild it but I want to get all of the variables out of the way before I went with doing a turbo rebuild
