Socks Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 oh dear. that sucks...try pooring a egg cup full of oil down cyl 2 lew...if it improoves its piston/ring related...if it makes no difference... its headgasket/valve seat/top end issue... fingers crossed its top end! Quote
snails ep91 Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 surely this is a good thing.. it will make yu go forged!!haha seriously tho feel your pain must be shit. but go forged Quote
lew777 Posted November 24, 2011 Author Posted November 24, 2011 Think if it's piston related il be going forged Quote
Glanza Mac Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 good man , if its not burning oil then to me its got to be something top end related. Quote

Socks Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 ill haver £50 on it sparky it'd be smoking and using oil if it was ringland Quote
lew777 Posted November 24, 2011 Author Posted November 24, 2011 hopefully it is the valve seatis it a cheap fix? Quote
Socks Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 head off jobbie. but yes it is lew... labour intensive however... Quote
Socks Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 how is it fixed?head off, lay it on a bench.. poor oil onto valve.. see which 1 it leaks past... then reseat that valve Quote
lew777 Posted November 24, 2011 Author Posted November 24, 2011 taking it back in monday , doing a leak test Quote
Sparky Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Oh I didnt read that bit lolWe will see then lol Quote
lew777 Posted November 24, 2011 Author Posted November 24, 2011 if it was piston related wouldnt the other cylinders be down on pressure aswell?i only say that because the other cylinders seem quite high in pressure Quote
N80Jamie Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 if it was piston related wouldnt the other cylinders be down on pressure aswell?i only say that because the other cylinders seem quite high in pressureNot the case dude unfortunately. Mine and Starbucks project GT was high on cylinder 1,3,4 and 120psi on cylinder 2! We did the oil down the chamber jobby and its new engine time for us! Quote
lew777 Posted November 24, 2011 Author Posted November 24, 2011 what it ment to mean is why arnt the other pistons fucked Quote
Russleh Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 had those symptoms and mine was ringland. TWICE lol. i never noticed smoke from exhaust but mates behind me told me they seen a fair amount when i floored it. also had a little smoke come out the rocker breather when accelerating. Quote
lew777 Posted November 24, 2011 Author Posted November 24, 2011 i had the very little smoke when i was boosting heavy and then i think it was just crap out the exhaust Quote
Russleh Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 hopefully urs aint pistons then. 2nd time mine went it went really bad. ring went aswell and had the joys of driving my car sounding like a subaru. Quote

Dean @RW-Developments Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 if you do a leak test turn the head upside down and pour petrol in them to see if it leaks past the valves/guides Quote
