Turbocharger on my 92 HDJ81 went pop offroading sending large shards and lots of oil on metal down the intake tube and into my front mount intercooler, possibly into engine.

Made the mistake of firing it back up again after shutting it off to examine and saw oil pouring out of the turbo on to ground so I shut it off. Checked oil after and oil line wasn't on dipstick.

Replaced turbo, new oil & cleaned intercooler pipes and fired it up.

There is a sharp loud metal knocking sound coming from motor now. Engine still fires up and knocking sound starts within 10 seconds, grey smoke is coming out of the exhaust as well. There is no blowby through the oil cap.

Where do I start to look to find the damage. Damaged valves, bent conrods, head damage?
 
did you clean all the oil out of the intercooler?
 
That sucks. I had a turbo pop on mine years ago. No intercooler on mine so mine ate shrapnel!

In the future if you need info about the hdj81 or HD-T you'll get a lot more responses here
