[Laughing] I already blame the mechanic. I should have realized problems were to come when I suggested that -before- he buy the engine, he confirm that it actually will swap into my vehicle. Or that when I first looked under the hood, after he drove it to the front of the building [all warmed up, of course] there were vacuum hoses -un-attached....
On language: some would say that the melange of immigrant history, common to New Orleans and New York at the turn into the 20th century, brings on a barrage of writers, and the way they torture language to the delight of readers. For me, it might well be my lives in those two cities, though I am native, and more: that I write, and am an engineer/attorney. Artifact...is a twist, I suspect, of usage describing investigatory results showing defects [like, say, a statistical glitch, or a blemish on a xray or other scan...]. I thought the word fit, at the time!
On another note: I assume, then, that if the bearings are failing and oil is leaking [at least into the big hose going to the throttle] that oil gets into the fuel intake stream. Which accounts for the smoke.
And, therefore, in a nod to karma for blaming the mechanic for not testing engine compression, he didn't break the Turbo. And maybe it's not the cyl. rings and the like.
Which makes me wonder.... what happens over time, on an old car, when the turbo goes bad. Does it stop, or just cry out in pain, and smoke in cold weather?
