If it were ingesting oil at 1/2qt every 5minutes through the intake, it would not shut down.

I did not want to mention that but agree. Or idle would be much much higher than normal as welll . Also ingress of that much oil by that method would cause a smoke screen of unbelievable proportions in my opinion. Another factor for the front oil passage is he states it starts easily and runs pretty well. At idle this engine requires only about 1/2 gallon of fuel an hour or less.

OK she smokes more than a train, now I could of have exaggerated a bit on 1/2 qt per 5 min . All I know is that I started it up and did see a lot of oil come out of the tail pipe. I have no problem tuning off the engine and restarting it. I will take a look at it this weekend I'm sure I will be asking more question. How do I do a compression test?

Ok today I pulled tube between turbo and engine intake and check for excess oil I found a lot of carbon build up it did have some oil but not what I'm seeing out of the exhaust. I poured in a gallon of oil in and stared the engine ran it for about 8 min at idol. Oil still coming out of exhaust just a steady stream of oil about 1/4 of that gallon was lost. NOW for the kicker I went to shut off the engine and I couldn't get it to shut down. What a panic mode not knowing what to do on shutting the engine down. After cutting off the fuel and removing the battery she finely turn OFF. What next?

Did you push down on the manual shutoff switch?
