right, had problems with turbo cutting out so it hadnt realy been run, got tips of you guys how to stop it cutting out so thats sorted. so the engine builder took it out on its first run on boost. firstly it pis*ed oil out of the dipstick hole, fitted a tighter one so thats sorted, but the big problem is its breathing loads out of the rocker cover, (oil fumes) when the caps on the rocker cover it all comes out of the exuast.
not the head gasket dont think its not bubbling the rad up. oh yer it also blew up the heater matrix.


like i say please help!!!

also l2b ticket for sale! £25

whooosh.... not that I know too much about turbos, but what it sounds like is the forced inducation is getting blown past the piston rings into the crank case...

I'd be getting you engine builder to strip the engine back down...

I'm fairly sure even turbo's arn't meant to P oil out the dipstick

COULD IT BE RUNNING WITH TO MUCH BOOST??

i know naff all about the turbo part of it but it sounds a lot like excess crankcase pressure, make sure its adequately vented ie enough vents and theyre not blocked. could also maybe be head gasket if as guessworks says pressure is seeping out of combustion chambers and pressurising crankcase and cooling system (hence blown matrix).

and i know things can get really stressful when stuff like this happens but just take a breather and chill, ive lost count of number of times ive come across a problem that seems insurmountable but has finally been overcome. just takes time and patience and itll be worth it in the end.

doesnt seem to be bubbling up the rad though.

[flameredturbo]

so it doesnt sound terminal then?

[Alex1380]

sounds like a gone piston ring to me.

[flameredturbo]

piston ring or piston is what minispeed sve and morespeed said!! dam thing.

[miniman5]

they guy took it for a spin and fryed the rings if you ask me, he might not of driven it slow till it all got warm, this could have done it, and so could raging the dingaling of it!

[flameredturbo]

yer, its clear that it is the pistons or the rings, im hoping its the rings as it will be a bit cheaper.
all has to come out though which sucks!

it was so close!
il put some pics up soon

There's no way you should be getting that much blow by. Were the pistons/rings new ? probably damaged a ring when fitted, or may have nipped a ring, were they gapped properly ?
You will get some blow by to begin with until the rings seat properly but not to that extent.
Hope you sort it.

Phil.

[flameredturbo]

its sorted, it seems that the monkeys that honed the bores messed it up, they are to big at the base of the bore oval shaped even.

new block.

Nothing - get the monkey who screwed it up to pay for a new one, other that that any 1275cc a+ block should be OK
