BoostJunkie Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 well most folk know my gt has been off the road nearly 2 years come april as been doing a forge rebuild went out today to do last minute checks to the gt for its mot tomorrow noticed a bit of blue smoke from tail pipe checked the oil and the oil is a little emulsified totally gutted as in honesty i think i've spent probs over 2k on that engine and i was scrimping and saving to do it and i'm just seriously pissed off now put so much work into that engine and passed few months i've been getting real sick of it and thinking is it worth it and now i need to take it apart again don't know if i even want to put it back together so i may be doing a major sale thread .

BoostJunkie Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 All good saying that still alot of money to me but its not really the money thats pissing me off well that don't help its the amount of hours out working on it (over 2 years) to be so close to getting it on the road to then find i'm having to pull it apart again.

jobo Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 its worth it , sleep on it or stay away from it for a week and you will go back to it ready to get it dpne, think of the rewards of knowing that you done it all yourself Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Russleh Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 if the block is cracked that would be a mega kick in the guts man. but theres alot of people nearby that would be willing to give ya a hand. call in the troops if i had done what you have and hd a cracked block i would probably be thinking the same.

BoostJunkie Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 Cheers Ross , yes i told monty about it ages ago, he still got them enkei's ?and as you may have guessed by the pm i sent that i was working on it today and its not as bad as thought done a co2 sniff test turned out fine, heaters are blowing hot air no probs, changed oil and oil filter and it aint emulsifying, and it aint burning oil, so good signs ;) so yes i'm over the moon about it but few things i need to take care of fans not kicking in so think i'm looking at a new thermister and i need a new rad after getting a new one as the cold f***d the new one but rather buy another rad than pull the thing apart again so .
