Have just done a complete re build of my R5 engine and it's smoking out the exhaust, it calmed down a bit once warmed up. The coolant don't go down and the hose's don't get pressurised and there's nothing dripping from the engine, the turbo has no front to back play just a tiny bit of up and down which it's alway's had.
Could it just be from having some water/oil still hiding in the exhaust system etc and just need a good blast to clear ???

Trying to remember mate, what happened to your old engine again?

A liner gave up on the last engine. The smoke was white, not thick. And it didn't smell of oil or anything.

I bet its left over water in the exhaust from the cracked liner

Rite update on the situation it appears i may have forgot to clean up the block properly so the head gasket was leaking ever so slightly and after ripping it apart AGAIN found that there was a dirt on gasket and block.......
