Checked pcv that's OK I've just had the car started to check ignition timing that's OK but car temp was half way but luke warm heaters and Warter started to come out overflow on radiator i pulled de cat off and there was white sludge could this be head gasket still have good compression aswell

Hi all I've recently put a 5e engine in me car which has been a good motor till now I started the car up and it chucking loads of white smoke out I have pulled spark plugs out they all covered in oil just done a compression test and got 180 180 190 180 is that OK could the headgasket go and still have this compression and we're the head meets the block looks like it's leaking oil any advice would be great

Cheers Colin so 0.6 to 0.7 I won't sick of buying engines just whant to get this 1 forged can't do it if I keep swapping engines

That's what I thought how can it break a rod setting of in traffic the rod snapped at the base were it clamps to the crank would of thought that's a strong point of conrod any how just got 5e motor running tonight I'll have to keep boost low as it's a standard 5e any one no max boost it can take safe it's only 5efe motor cheers

Any one no were I can get the switch on the left of picture I've broke mine when taking engine out if not do you no were I can buy the same 1 cheers

Well I think he has enjoyed the car way to much and killed it the Tit and this engine wasn't forged thank fuck but iam trying to forge an engine that's been put on hold for now as I need a car for work so I bought a paseo to take engine out and drop in me 82 and run low boost till sorted stuff out

Just set off in traffic he said i doubt that n ye he should no longer be me friend it has cost me a fortune so far

Well I let my friend take my car for a mot as I was at work last week and I came home to this not good so I've just been out and bought this

Lol ye just a little bit of boost woodruff key is well stuck looks like it's rusted on think I will have to take crank out with the pulley still attached put pulley in a vice put bolt back in and hit it with a hammer does any one no what compression these pistons are http://www.race-tech.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=33

Well I've found out why I lost compression still can't get woodruff key out even warmed it up a bit still won't move

Hi all iam stripping my engine down because it lost compression on cylinder 1 so for the 1st time ever iam going to try doing the rebuild myself which should be fun because I don't no what iam doing lol any way I've got it stripped down to the block still got crank and pistons in but no matter what I try I can not get this woodruff key out its well stuck in has any one got any ideas as iam stuck on what to do next I have already broke the edge of the pulley so I will need a new one I just can't get it free at all

Hi all recently I have had both rear calipers off while changing disk and pads I had the brake pedal pushed Down to the floor so brake fluid didn't pass all over put it all back together bled all the air out and pedal still goes to the floor if I pump the pedal a few times it gets hard let go for literally 2 seconds and goes back to the floor but when pedal is on the floor you can't turn the disk am puzzled with it think I cud off popped the seals in master cylinder and will a UK starlet one fit cheers

cheers phil that's what I needed no thanks again

Ok cheers from what I've seen they say wiseco pistons fit standard rods and the max speeding one's say they are standard fitment aswell so they should fit not priced JE pistons yet £450 for wiseco thought about the 5e build myself lol
