jackellis19 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) hi ive recently bought a glanza and found that there is excessive oil and vapour coming from the breather, its got a low lumpy idle ive searched a bit and found that it may be my ringland, ive done a compression test and found its 110,110,70,110 i know cylinder 2 is low so im thinking thats the problem, what i was wondering is that if i replace the damaged piston to a working one and put a new set of rings in and headgasket etc will this solve the problem, the car runs and drives, im on a very tight budged and cant be without a car for long as its my daily any help or parts would be much appreciated guys can even text me if you like im really pretty desperate 07964065399 thanks a lot]ack Edited June 24, 2013 by jackellis19 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 As I commented in the other thead. Did you try a wet test? Dropping a tea spoon of oil down each bore and seeing if the reading rises to indicate a ring/cylinder problem. If you replace the piston rings you'll have to get the block honed otherwise the new rings won't seat against the cylinder wall. You would most likely be far better off purchasing another working engine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
