White smoke!! Bad day.

ringland would be my guess, when i had one let go it sounded similar...lots of white smoke, car ran decent.

Could be a turbo seal, Normally when it's a head gasket you just know. Smell of vaporized coolant, milky oil etc.

if its a oil-less turbo i wouldnt waste your time pulling it. its not the cause of the issue.

A water passage couldnt leak in the turbo causing the smoke, I believe that is what he is referring to as far as the turbo is concerned.

It's probably a ring relative compression was down 40% in cylinder 4

Bummer.

It ended up being a piston ring land. Sending motor back to jdm to warranty it. Probably gonna sell the short block and go l&m

Man, I Hate To Hear That. Good Luck With Your Build.

Well got 75% off the swap done today, I was able to look at that piston a little better and turns out it was probably caused by detonation. All the pistons looked clean and had a yellowish haze to them. And the number 4 piston looked like it melted in on it self. Still gonna swap stock block back in so I can drive it for a month or so while I rebuild the other block. On a good note the cylinder head looked great and there was only a small nik that cleaned up with some 1500 grit. Still need to check the exhaust side of the turbo just to make sure no debris found its way in there
