kbond Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) To cut a long story short the ringlands went on my engine again so i bought another standard engine which i had been told was 100% working with good compression, only thing was he had started taking the head off as was going to forge it but bought another engine anyway i recieved the engine on friday and thought i would just use the bottom end and use my head as i only had it skimmed ect a few months ago. Built all the engine up with new head gasket and put it in the car got everything bolted on started it up... And there is smoke pouring out of the exhaust and in the 5 minutes it was running i checked the oil cap which was creamy and the dipstick which looked like it had water mixed with oil on. Now i no the head is working perfect. You cant really get any pipes mixed up as there arent any external oil pipes apart from the turbo. Only thing i can think of is either head gasket on wrong, which i am sure it was on right as i checked it 10 time lol, or the block which was supposed to be 100% has a crack in???The smoke coming out of the exhaust doesnt smell like oil at all i am sure it water as its loosing loads of waterWhat do people think?Have been through nothing but problems with this car since i bought it so may be up for sale soon! Either that or crush it and put it on my mantal piece! Edited March 4, 2013 by kbond Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beastmode panda Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Water mixed with oil which creates the 'mayo' stuff - headgasket. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Would also say it sounds like head gasket! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richdog Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Was the head pressure tested? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kbond Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 The head was previously on my other engine for a few months until the ringlands went but was running spot on then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kbond Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Will be taking the head off again tomorrow to investivate AGAIN!I do hope i put it on wrong though and it isnt a cracked block or anything Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie_VF22 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 you did plumb it in correctly didnt you mate , option 2 could be you put a water hose on a vac line on the inlet manifold just a maybe worth a check alot of people have done it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kbond Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Has anyone got a little guide to show which pipes go where on the inlet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
melon Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Just don't twist them and it should be fine. Also the possibility that you've scratched the head? Easy to catch the surface on the dowels in the block when you put it on Quote Link to post Share on other sites

H_D Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 do you mean the metal pipe which connects to the waterpump? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kbond Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 No the small pipe that is bolted to the back of the inlet? as i think i have a pipe coming from the water pump pipe to this one Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dangeestarlet Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Done that on my old red starlet when I put a rolla inlet on, had to change the oil and give it a good thrashing to clear the smoke, had me rubbing my head for a few hours wondering why it wouldn't start lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
