6.5L Chev Turbo Diesel Problems
Posted: Sun Jun 08, 2003 8:08 pm
Hi Guys,
I have the above motor in my 80 with a Toyota 4sp Auto. A problem has happened to me twice and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas.
The first time it happened was on a short hill climb in low range at about 30deg going up the hill, the motor lost all drive, blew a heaps of oil smoke and the turbo made a popping noise.
When trying to restart the motor it wouldn't turn over and acted like it had been hydraulic'd. After leaving the motor for about 10 mins it started in a puff of smoke, was smokey for about 2 mins more then was fine. This was about 3 weeks ago.
The last night I had stopped in the brake down lane on the freeway to check on something tied in the trailer, pulling back onto the freeway and giving it a bit to get up to speed, the same thing happened. Now this was on flat ground but it was doing about 3000rpm in 3rd. It was towing a 6x4 box trailer with a light load.
The motor has about 30,000K's on it from brand new. The only thing I can think out is that maybe some oil is getting past the rings when the motor is under load and going out the exhaust which is then going into the turbo. The thing is I towed a rangie on a car trailer from gosford to menai last week with no probs whatsoever.
Any Ideas would be great.
Thanks
