Well today steams popped over to help tackle the engine an gearbox in job, but instead of doing that, we thought we would get the deletes done instead, tidy up the new engine, get the turbos off and actually just get the turbo housing re threaded.

 

So while steams set to work on the carbon canister removal, i decided that considering the amount of oil i was showing in my intercooler pipes coming off the throttle bodies, id take the pipes off my Front mounted intercooler.

 

well almost soaked steams with the first one, so i put the pipe back on, went and got a pot to collect the oil and this is what happened lol, click image to view video.

 

passenger side of the intercooler

 

Drivers side lol

Well done boyZ, Nice to see the members getting together and helping each other out, nasty bit of oil in those pipes though!! hopefully Steamer might sleep better tonight if youve tired him out Vods?

car had been standing a while matey, it was a smokey engine, with a hole in the number 6 piston, took all the pipes off and gave them a bloody good clean out, left the intercooler in place, that oil was standing oil in the bottom, but got a rag in them and cleaned them out till no new oil was on the rag when putting the rag back into the inter cooler, and the biggest deciding factor of not getting the intercooler off.

 

Some daft sod blended the bloody wings into the front bumper, and then into the side skirts, then the side skirts to the body. but yeah, about half a litre of oil out of both sides of the front mount.

 

unreal matey, couldn't believe it.

cannot see the problem :lol::lol::lol:

getting there mate wont be long now

WTF!!??? That's crazy!!

WTF!!??? That's crazy!!

 

never seen anything like it, i new it might have some oil in there due to the state of the hard pipes when i took them off, but thats some serious blow past the rings to cause that, hell even the turbos on the engine, you couldnt move the turbine by hand very well, every thing inside the air intake piping system was just completely caked in oil. so its all had a good clean out, so glad i checked now as well.
