So i just got done replacing the head gasket on my 940t. While i was in there I cleaned out the oil separator,did the water pump and timing belt,had the head surfaced,replaced plugs, changed the oil and filter with mobil1 10-30. I got it all back together and its running ok. The issue is that if I give it a little gas, let it idle, rev it up, it doesn't smoke at all. But if I mash it while I'm driving and let it boost up then let off the gas it starts to smoke massive clouds of blue smoke.
To clarify, no smoke anytime except when I let off the gas and come to a stop after hard acceleration .
Also after a hard drive occasionally it will sit and idle fine for 30 seconds or so and then randomly start to pour blue smoke with no change in idle. then as soon as you put it in gear and hit the gas the smoke goes away and it is happy as can be.
I checked the plugs and they are nice and clean. the compression is 150 -155-160-155.
other than the usual piston slap the engine sounds ok. i suspect the turbo because now that it has good compression from the head gasket it boost much higher without knocking and cutting the timing. Maybe that blew out the seals ? I really hope my rings aren't bad.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
