A L 3 X Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 I paid 100 for this one as it had 50k miles and very little shaft play, look where that's got me lol :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 A quick video if you could take a look, this is after its been sat idling a little while and engine is warm.

melon Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Try a bit of seal conditioner See if it makes any difference before you start pulling it apart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 What's that lol, never heard of it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
melon Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Will soften your valve seals so they 'mould' a bit better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I probably will when it gets worse mate, does it deffo look like turbo from that video? It does look a bit turbo related mate, whip your air filter off and have a quick look? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 I will when I get chance, the only thing is my ct9 never leaked oil but smoked haha, weirdly, must of been exhaust side and burnt immediately, I assume this may be inlet side as the symptoms are slightly different.

Liam_D Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I reckon you'll have slight thrust play (backwards and forwards as opposed to up and down) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 As far as i remember when I fitted it there was none, or it was extremely minute? There was a bit of side to side but what id expect to be solid once its got oil in it, maybe its got worse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Possibly would take it off and give it a wiggle! let me know how you get on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Will do mate, what if it doesnt appear to be bad? because the smoke is barely evident im just a picky bastard lol... Doubt its anything else as it only smokes under these conditions, not on cold star or anything Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 If there's no play and it's solid I really wouldn't worry about it mate! Or just get the turbo rebuilt if it Annoys you that much haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Ah right it doesnt bother me too much for now as it only does it when i idle it for a prolonged time then rev it, I just dont want it to be a major engine issue or to cause any damage, how much would you be looking to rebuild for me?

Liam_D Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Be looking about £185 I reckon matey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Thats not bad like Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Yeah it's a good price, that's aslong as its only a standard repair and Dosent need any compressor wheels/shafts replacing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 I doubt it will mate tbh, never know though haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
melon Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Be looking about £185 I reckon matey Almost tempted to let you do mine for that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Yeah just thought i would mention it incase you do end up having it done and the price is a little higher. From what you've described it sounds like a standard repair though. Maybe seals have gone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
