JammieLittleStarlet Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Right. I had a hks dv aswell as the re circulator running. and the dv was spitting oil. Alot. I took the dump valve, piping and the rx7 tmic off and checked them all, cleaned them up however to see where the oil may be coming from to try and write off the chance of turbo seals, i disconnected the breathing pipe from the crankcase that joins to the re-circ and replaced with a breather filter, the valve is still spitting a bit( possibly from oil still in the pipe work?) But the crank case breather is flodding oil all over the top of the engine, ive asked around and most common response is " piston rings" Can any one help? shed any light on what it may be? and alos if it is the piston rings any one know any reliable decent but cheap ( if they exist?) places to have them done? Or isit worth buying a new engine and having that dropped in? If so any knocking around that can be sure to be well looked after and low-ish milage? Im from the kent area if this helps for any recommendations!.PLEASE HELP! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest dominodon Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 **Right way to do a conpression test **Heat up the engine till it comes to operating temp. Then unplug the main plug from the distirbutor cap so not be able to start the car also the efi fuse so you dont spray fuel anymore during cranking. Then take out the first spark plug and fit the compression gauge. Get inside and crank the engine at wot till the gauge comes to the maximun level can reach. In simple speaking goes up and up every cycle and then stop. When it is stoped then this is your reading. Then take the tester out and repeat to the other 3 cylinders. What you looking for is almost equall readings on all cylinders at first and second if a stock low milage engine 140-180 psi. After test is done dont forget the main plug and the efi fuse or else you will not be able to start the car.From cylinder to cylinder dont forget to bleed the gauge to be 0 before you start the new measurmentcompression should be between 140 and 180 accross all 4, Just to give you a idea this is are result (1)160 psi(2)161 psi(3)159 psi(4)161 psi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
