Not quite there yet

Spend a day off from work Friday and got everything back together in a timely manner. New line in and all turbo parts reassembled. Bad cell phone pic of the engine bay with the new feed line line is highlighted by the yellow arrow.



When to start the car and was giving a rough idle. Then it stalled out. It did that twice before throwing a blinking check engine light. But it did start and rev'ed nicely.

So, I had a friend come over and scan it and was throwing misfires on cylinder 1 &2. Swapped coil packs with cylinder 4. Then was still throwing misfire in 1. I took out the spark plug to find it and the rest of them covered in oil. I check the newly installed valve cover gasket and it was not leaking down into the cylinders.

So now I am either looking at a faulty PCV system or failed piston rings. I am hoping for the PCV system fail. Fingers crossed yet again.

If it is the PCV the solution will be a new valve and a catch can set up to catch the excess oil.
