I'm no mechanic, actually anything I know how to do is driven off of sheer need. So with that being said my diagnosis skills are not fantastic, but I can recognize something that isn't up to par. Currently motor is out of the car and exhaust manifold was pulled with the turbo. Taking a look at the valves real quick like I noticed that one of them had that wet/oily look to it while the others had a dry/grayish appearance. First pic shows the valve in question on the left, second pic shows the overall look of the rest of the valves. A little back story, when the car was last running it would start to smoke after a full warm up. I had assumed something with the turbo, but now I'm starting to think this valve may be the culprit. Head was rebuilt less than a year prior to the clutch going out, which is my main reason for the engine coming out of the car. Looking to take care of as much maintenance that I can while the engine is out. Opinions and advice are greatly appreciated.
