Default ok i need help

i hate to sound stupid but ive tried pretty much everything

my 14b finally blew, oil was couple inches in my intercooler, slapped a new 16g on and it smokes more now then before the turbo let go. i am begging to think my valve stem seals are bad but wouldnt it of showed signs of them going bad, and not just letting go. i got a ticket for driving down the road and trying to clear the smoke out, i have had 3 sets of new plugs and ran all kinds of seafoam and shit from my work to clean the vacum lines, nothing helps

first try to test compression in your cylinders.

What color is the smoke? Do you start to overheat at all?

I'm not so sure seafoam is good stuff, nothing that I would ever put in my engine. Acutally I would never put anything in my engine other than oil.

Yea dude that seafoam shit is a bad idea from what I have heard of it. It may be your seals, if so I have a spare set here you can have if it helps. Only problems is I'm in orlando. Do a compression check and get back to us.

yeah, your ring or valve seals are fried. Sounds like a time for a rebuild. double check that 14b, it may not be bad after all

Come over whenever you want, just remember I'm over by Cocoa Beach. Otherwise I can just mail them to you.
