wot colour smoke will it be and how can u tell if the spindle is ok

[miamibluebaby]

dark black/blue smoke usualy a sign that bearings are knackered and is leakin oil

[luthor1]

Blue smoke is indicative of oil that's been combusted in the engine

White smoke is indicative of oil thats been heavily heated by the inside of the hot exhaust.

So white smoke would indicate exhaust side bearing, and blue would indicate compressor side bearing.

Hope that helps

i havent started my engine in about 2months due 2 puttin a new 1 in and when i started it earlier it was chuckin white smoke out
i just put new oil in /filter plugs
i just hope it isnt the turbo

[luthor1]

did you over fill the oil because a turbo oil-drain blockage will cause white smoke as the oilwill force past the seal. Blocked Crank breather will do the same thing and cause the same problem

Kind regards

Dont worry about white smoke to much, it'll probably clear it self out when you start driving it.

[ian_saxo]

cheers ill take it for a good run and see wot happens after that

[Saaamon]

Don't rag it to hard though.. Break it in ;)

what turbo is it or if you dont know it who did the turbo setup off?

Could be condensation? Mines got a lot of white smoke/steam coming out of exhaust even when it's warm (goes away after a long drive) with it being very cold.
