07 6.0l blue smoke burning oil

[nunly81]

I have a 07 with 77k miles on her. Its blowing an enormous ammount of blue smoke out the tailpipe and it is just oil burning. Relative compression test showed 5% on #2. Turbo seal appears to be fine. I pulled 2 of the glow plugs out(2 and 4) and they have the same ammount of oil on them both. Am I getting blow by on the rings, or is there another problem? I replaced the EGR and Oil coolers also.

Also whats the compression supposed to be on the tester? I know Ford is gonna say tear it down and find the root cause of the concern, but really am I looking at a short block for it, cause I will just BS them.

Also note it is easier to get a short block for these things than a freaking turbo. LOL

Just reran relative compression and all were ok. I ran it twice with the same results.

And it isn't the Oil Cooler?

Thats what I said man. Unless I have a bad one that I just put on. The old one failed the test for it and I havent reran anything to check the new one.

keep us all posted as to what you figure out. mine is doing the same thing only not all the time.

Well I think I have it narrowed down to the turbo seal. It only smoke under a load. Im gonna see if I can sneak it past prior approval and get a new one. Try that and continue with my diag if neccesary.

OK still smoking. Im gonna guess I have bad rings then. Shooting for a short block on this try.
