the head was skimmed and pressure tested, and what order should the head been torqued down in? this one from TM developments... Head gasket kit even tho its not a genuine head gasket kit surely it should of survived longer then 3 weeks of normal driving at 0.6bar of boost....?

had my head gasket done about 3 weeks ago by a friend of the family at his garage. was perfectly fine until last tuesday when it started to misfire and run of 3 cylinders, so got it home changed the spark plugs, leads, and dizzy cap and still running on 3 cylinders, it then got worst and started to run on 2 cylinders and cutting out. so got the compression test on it and found it had no compression on cylinders 1 and 2. got my friend of a family to come tow it back to his garage to see what was wrong and he took the head off and said the head gasket was cracked between the cylinders 1 and 2.... the head gasket kit was from TM Developments which i supplied to him along with new headbolts and washers. how could this happen after just 3 weeks of driving? it is the head gasket kit? or could something during fitting caused this?

how do i do a leak off test?

Done a compression test today results: done a compression test today results cylinder 1= 20 psi cylinder 2= 20 psi cylinder 3= 140 psi cylinder 4= 140 psi engine was warmed up, throttle fully open and put some oil in 1 and 2 but still no change... my dads mate said valve springs broken or broke valve. any ideas?

started my glanza up this morning and it took ages to get going and noticed straight away it was misfiring. so changed the distributor cap, ht leads, and spark plugs... but still no spark on cylinder one.... but when i rev it up above 3k it starts to make a tapping sound like metal on metal......? no smoke and just had the headgasket done about 2 weeks ago. engine mods: zisco mani, zisco decat, tail wastegate, fmic, relocated air filter and running 0.6bar of boost. any suggestions?

ive got one you can buy came with my glanza. but im going on holiday tomorrow so will have to wait until after next week haha

I just got my glanza back after having the head skimmed and new headgasket kit fitted now it holds temp nice and no smoke but there is still MAYO under the oil cap? Cleaned it off and drove to work and it was back again... Any ideas? There are some rubber washers under the rocker cover nut which I can't remember being there before?

i paid £50 delivered for mine last week.

done the diagnostic check and it comes back with error 24. ATS air temperature sensor.

how would I check that? It sometimes happens when I go over bumps hard. Cuts all revs and boost but keeps the engine running.

Both. But mainly when its up to temp and on motorway

when I'm driving along it will cut all power and boost... does it when I'm on the motorway mainly but sometimes its fine. Doesn't matter if I'm on or off it boost it still does it... engine management light comes on then goes 3seconds later. its not boost cut... and would it have anything to do with my rev gauge not working sometimes? anyone have any ideas?

Cheers bud

Hey i noticed a knocking noise coming from the front of my car so had a look at the driveshafts and noticed one of the cv joints had spit quiet badly (see pic) its for a glanza V 96 spec. old owner said its got the factory LSD. Do i have to change the whole driveshaft? or will it be okay to change just the joint? CV joint

with that in mind im going to keep the standard turbo and run it at 1bar (as ive got a spare 1 bar wastegate spring) then get a FCD and FPR then see how much it is running. Cheers mate, the old owner said it had a port and polished head but no proof so maybe he was telling the truth? when u going to get it fitted?
