corofin12345 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 lads, why are people saying head gasket here..?? its oil thats pissing out, not water.! running on 3 cylinders could be anything.. find the source of the oil leak first and go from there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingcarr Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 its either head gasket or its put a rod through the block... head gasket sounds likely as I was having issues with misfires at top end which could have been loss of compression or oil/water entering the cylinder!?!

I just said it sounds like a HG failure, not written in stone, however it explains the oil, bang & running like shit straight after due to loss of comp.Or it could be a rod out, but the OP was told by a mechanic that the block was intact.

Kingcarr Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 I would but its dark before I leave for work and dark when I get back, could do with getting it jacked up and getting under to see the back of the block. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
