Ryan_EP82 GT Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Smoke started pouring out of the breather filter a few weeks back so we got the engine stripped at the weekend, left a bit confused as the cylinders are fine and the pistons have no play in them! Someone from ECC said they're 99% its a burnt out valve although a leakdown test didn't show any problems. How can I tell for sure? Get a pressure test done on the head + the block ?2 things we noticed were a lot of oil in the inlet manifold - possibly valve stem oil seals? Would it be anything else? And also the headgasket was soaked in petrol! Would this have anything to do with the problem and force the gas (blue smoke) into the oil galleries/sump/breather etc?Need all your advice here ladsAny advice appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jhandy Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 have you taken the engine completley apart, because mine done it on the weekend and its the ring lands, always bloody ringlands Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 smoke coming out of the breather is going to be ringlands, take a look at our pistons and check the skirts (bit between the two rings) you will probably find its got a crack and if you tap it it will break off.

Ryan_EP82 GT Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) @Hawwy, I don't think so mate tbh!@Jhandy, not completely apart as I'm not too keen on stripping the bottom end. If it is ringlands ile leave it to just get them stripped and replaced@Taggy, thanks mate im gonna hafta give the block to someone to look at for me, Edited July 9, 2013 by Ryan_EP82 GT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
