smoking exhaust
First off, thanks for any help you can give.
I just had the engine replaced in the 1992 R/T. For the first couple days all was well, but now I get very thick white smoke from the pipes. It smells like oil and I dont see any anti freeze. I had hope it was one of the turbos, but the intake is not full of oil. The car seems to run without a miss, and starts without any problem.
This happened all at once. It was not something that started and got worse.
As I said atthe start, if I saw mass oil in the intake, or at the hoses that attach to the intake, I would think it was turbos.
ANY ideas? Anyone see this before? Input PLEASE!

Did you buy a used motor?? Since it started smoking, what is the oil consumption like?? Does it do it all the time, or only after idling for awhile?? Have you pulled the dipstick, to see if there is any frothing of the oil (a sign of a bad head gasket)?? If the intercooler pipes are free of oil, I would say that it is not the turbo(s).

If it was a rebuild did they do the heads also or put the old ones on a rebuilt block. If that is what they did and the heads were old the valve guides and seals could not handle the compression and most likely started to blow by.
