Huge white smoke - Volvo 850 T5 - after replacing head gasket
Hey I have a t5 Volvo 850 2.3l turbo it’s blowing tons of white smoke I’ve replaced hg had head pressure tested blocked checked still tons of white smoke. 120 psi on all cylinders with a very warm engine I was reading that turbo we’re water and oil lines go could crack causing water to be mixed in turbo and burnt in turbo bc plugs and cylinders aren’t steam cleaned has all new Volvo brand parts

See the comments about the turbo, if the seals leak, it will blow oil right into the exhaust, then you look like the mosquito control guy.

Current Volvos:
1998 V70 T5, 112k sat 5 years, still in mechanical coma (finally at the top of the pile )
2004 XC90 T6 AWD: 186k, 60 on transaxle ( traded in )
1998 POS70 N/A: DD/training aid, 236k but really about 240k, I think...ABS module( passed on to son who sold it)
