    Smoking After A Re Build

    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 ???

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