im considering breaking it more than anything to be honest! I did say to my mates if anything big needed doing id break it... maybe the time has come
-
welcome.along!
would also like pics with custard

headbolts too? is it worth upgrading stuff? I got told I can get the head skimmed and checked for £40, plus an additional £80 for port polishing, angling etc... worth doing?
-
I'm gonna be optimistic, if it's the head gasket, what sort of money is the parts list going to cost?
-
do it mayyyyn! Cheap! Good upgrade!Hmmmmmmm
-
Bump! Price reduced again... need funds to fix car
-
ok, ill see if my mate can look at it as im working all week!

im just concerned about the amount of oil that poured out when I stopped. surely that amount wouldn't have come out of a failed HG? especially as the engine was off as I rolled down the hill to a stop? half tempted to see what happens when I start it... if its a rod or piston would it turn over still or would it be a mass of metal mess? maybe remove the spark plugs and turn it over?
-
just went out and had a look, theres a mix of oil and water, so might just be the HG? its not overheated or anything though? theres jizz in the oil cap!

or it not running right? suppose the bang could have been a backfire? but still doesn't explain... will pop out and have a wiggle at lunch
-
HG wouldn't cause the oil to piss out though would it? I literally have a puddle of oil under the car!
-
dipstick is still in place, im working at the moment so cant get pics!
it instantly ran like shit after it went bang, sounded like something popped out but I walked up the road and didn't see anything? oil has pissed out of somewhere as the firewall, and brake cylinder are covered!
it seems to be more around the area of where the knock sensor on the back of the block is? like under the inlet manifold area...

I would have been just coming into boost @ around 3k revs... if its any use!?!

Morning Guys,
This Morning on the way to work, I was nearly at the office after taking it easy waiting for her to get up to temp. On the final stretch I decided to give it a little more, but not the bull beans, and there was a big bang, like a misfire. immediately turned the engine off as it sounded like it was running on 3 cylinders, and rolled the rest of the way to the office.
Got outside work and popped open the bonnet, oil has sprayed all up the back left of the engine bay (around the alternator and brake cylinder) so I got my generic mobile mechanic friend to come and look... as there is now a pool of oil underneath it!
He said the good news is there isn't a conrod or piston hanging out the back, but there is a lot of oil around the rear of the engine on the alternator side, near a sensor?
He had to bugger off as he was booked out, so we are inconclusive!
what could it be? Please help!
cheers
Nathan

its either head gasket or its put a rod through the block... head gasket sounds likely as I was having issues with misfires at top end which could have been loss of compression or oil/water entering the cylinder!?!
