morgey Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Wasn't taggys burning oil because the pcv valve fucked up? Quote
daniel_g Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Thats true actually ^^^ but if a turbo shits itself then normally oil ends up in the exhaust. Worth a shot to clean the exhaust out for 5 quid worth of petrol. Quote
Addymk2 Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Couldn't hurt to attack the PCV valve with some carb cleaner tbh Quote
dj-jon-boi Posted May 22, 2013 Author Posted May 22, 2013 But there's oil residue before the turbo... In the mani. And my exhaust comes out infront of my front wheel so It's not very long. Think the oil would have burnt off by now and it smokes a shit load! What is the pcv? And where? Quote
micky boy Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 If you have any oil in the exhaust ports on the head then its either valve stem seals or piston rings Quote
morgey Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Pcv is the plastic valve on top of the cam cover that goes to the inlet manifold Quote
Addymk2 Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Warm it up before you pop it out or you will snap it in half (oops...) Quote
dj-jon-boi Posted May 22, 2013 Author Posted May 22, 2013 Ah, it's already snapped and I've had to glue it down... Will this cause and excessive amount of smoke? Anyone know of one for sale? Quote
Addymk2 Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Possibly bud, ID-Workz sell them, I brought one the other week because I snapped mine lol Quote
bailey Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Camskill will be cheapest next day delivery aswell Quote
dj-jon-boi Posted May 23, 2013 Author Posted May 23, 2013 I bought one from I d workz. Hopefully be here soon. It would definatly make sense if it was that that's causing it I smoke! Quote
Addymk2 Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 It's a cheaper option than a rebuild lol fingers crossed for you! Quote
dj-jon-boi Posted May 23, 2013 Author Posted May 23, 2013 Part arrived earlier...... IT WORKED!!! I now have a gt with 200+ bhp Sick!!! Thanks people. I would have stripped my engine down if it wasnt for you lot! Thanks for your help Quote
