Ryan_EP82 GT Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Managed to get onto my old photobucket account and found pics of the old motors! Brings back some memories lol.. My very first pride & joy, Mk2 Golf gti 8v - had full engine rebuild & full respray in Audi TT silver: Then went on to a E30 325i SE with a Skorpion catback straight-through...could be heard for miles!!lol: Got the Golf 2.9 VR6 next, sitting just over 200hp Fuelling them was the biggest problem so i changed for the Polo and Golf right about here, no pictures of them though Next was the Cavalier 1.7TD Isuzu model..Loved this car the most i think, pity it was stolen last week This is it when i got it.. Then after i fitted the GSi kit and wheels: Edited March 19, 2013 by Ryan_EP82 GT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan_EP82 GT Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) i noticed the handbrake light starting to come on when i braked so it was maybe time for a new set of pads and discs all round, 2 new bearings aswell.. my own rear shocks were busted so i replacedthem with set of kyb shocks and gab sport springs. A stiffer set up than the old 1s The gt on the day up in Derry after being clay barred, waxed and polished...

Ryan_EP82 GT Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Not so nice now, engine melted completely fs! running on 3 cylinders an smoke flying out the breather filter when warm/being driven. i got it fitted last week but didnt have a gauge, so the mechanic upped the fuel to max until he could put it on a wideband the next day. On my way to his the next day i noticed smoke flying out my breather filter when the engines on/being driven! is there a chance that setting the fuel too high wouldve melted my engine? its defo piston rings i think fuck sake! advice?

Amjad Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I think running too rich can cause bore wash? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Green Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I think running too rich can cause bore wash? Sounds like bore wash, you would lose compression, it has the same sort of effect as the piston rings going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan_EP82 GT Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 im not too sure what bore wash is to be honest mate, but i compression tested it at 140,140,140,80.....safe to say its scrap then yeah? can it even be used to forge? im not sure incase theres bore marks on the cylinders now...Sounds like bore wash, you would lose compression, it has the same sort of effect as the piston rings going. thanks aswell chris, that confirms it then. fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It wouldn't be scrap mate, you just need to rehone the bores. Would need to replace: headgasket, Head bolts and piston rings though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan_EP82 GT Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) Yes Jay this is the same one. why on earth put a fpr on this? Edited June 3, 2013 by Ryan_EP82 GT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Im not sure if i would even feel comfortable trying to decent put power into that engine again now, it mite even be cheaper to buy another 4efte by the sounds of things!

Jaystar77 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 A fresh 4EFTE is usually the easier route. In terms of time, effort and budget a rebuild might not be your ideal solution. It's a days work instead of a weeks work. Costly lesson unfortunately mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
