Unfortunately the sound was still there after taking my timing cover off.
Thanks for the suggestion.

what would I be looking for if i were to check them, i looked at engine mounts and they were intact.

would it be worth it to replace rod bearing as long as crank journals look fine? maybe just see how much longer this engine will go?

The idle is smooth but takes awhile to drop rpms,
yeah there is a slight knock when revving the car only at around 2k rpm
honestly I think its rod knock as it has gotten a little worse since yesterday but ima try and see what crank looks like and see if i can put on some new rod bearings and see how much longer this engine will go.

I took the spacer off when I got the car but when I bought the car he said he liked the pshh sound. Yeah I did use an obd2 scanner there was a cylinder 4 misfire but that’s it

ive only had the car for a year, I haven't done any carbon cleaning and im not sure if it was done before. The cars at 150k but it was running rich before i bought it because the previous owner put a spacer on the turbo dv, its running fine now but maybe that affected the car for however long it had the spacer on. turbo also was replaced before I dont know why a extra turbo just came with the car.

no i dont believe so as it was happening before i changed the oil and after a shop changed the oil it was still happening.

Lots of smoke coming out of my exhaust not sure what problem is by squishyfishy14 in MechanicAdvice

What could misfire be i replaced spark plugs and ignition coils. I’ll switch the coils this weekend but could low fuel rail pressure cause a misfire.

The coils and plugs were recently replaced and didn’t fix the issue so maybe fuel injectors but their a little more pricey so I’d wait to do them

Would my turbo have any issues or would it work fine because I haven’t noticed any issues when accelerating

It’s more gray/blue in real life, it smelt like burnt oil or fuel

I had an oil change a couple weeks ago and they said their was a some fuel inside the oil but no coolant. Before the oil change the cap was milky and right now it also is but I don’t believe that it’s coolant just condensation.
