I understand that my Suburu 2000 turbo has a phase 1 engine.
Problem is the motor is blowing smoke suddenly.
Replaced the turbo and the seal but it still smokes and has a rough idle. Plug leads were pulled out while running and it indicated that there is lack of compression or spark in two plugs.
Lack of comppression is usually a ring problem but can also be a vavle problem ....you said it was two cylinders ...if the cylinders are side by side it could be a blown headgasket ...is it white smoke or blue smoke
White would indicate coolant meaning headgasket and blue is a oil burning problem meaning rings
