it never ends for me ..

 

looks like a may of blown a piston ...

 

soo its forged time looks like

but gonna be off the rd for a little time and going to

miss some shows looks like :(

 

any one got a good bottem end with forged parts they want to sell ?

just taken intercooler off .. i have Oil in both sides ... whats that all about .. ?

well thats what i was thinking ... yeah New ball bearing type ..

 

but mis sfire/smoke is only on one side ... oil was on both side same amount

 

is it possible for Oil from the cylinders to get back in to the boost lines

trace the IC pipes as to where you have oil and look at the route will soon tell you where it is likely to be coming from. However oil in IC pipes more than likey points to tubbie seals depends what boost lines and such you have deleted and which are still there that could put oil to that side

When i blew no.6 piston ( the usual most obvious one!) oil pissed out of both exhausts and was in all pipes all over the gaff.

 

Stock pistons are 87mm however as every block should have a de hone of the bores, you fit 87.5mm also being the smallest you can normally get in forged from wiseco and the likes.

Were the intercoolers definately clean when you last put it back together?

last time i checked pipes was all clean and that was only weeks ago ...

 

oil coming out of passanger side exhaust ...

no oil in drivers side ... clean

 

but there was oil in both sides of the intercooler not loads but enuff to leave a nice trail when it was taken off

so i would guess about 100ml in total

 

i'm just ready to take engine out .. started at half 2 ... doing good for time

could still be both seals on impellor side and seal on left turbine side which would give oil in those places. I know when the seals go oil gets everywhere in the system had this with other peoples zeds that i worked on.

these tubs have uprated Oil seals on ... i paid for the privilege

these tubs have uprated Oil seals on ... i paid for the privilege

 

i should hope so too but it doesnt make them bomb proof. any number of things could cause them to fail and we could list possiblities all day however push an engine and you will find any weak links which you have done

Well its all Priced up ... and its going to spank me thats for sure

so your looking at around 2k there, builds up quick hey.

not long just fitted new belt/pulleys/water pump ...

 

yeah taking engine apart this week need to find some wonda before ordering so its going to be a week>2

You're going to want bigger than 87mm pistons with the rebore mate. If yours are currently standard get 0.5 mm bigger and give the block to the machine shop with the pistons when they arrange and they will match them accordingly.

 

Not fancy a PCV delete while it's out and save a few quid?

ok .. engine is out the car ... and on engine stand all ready

 

from half 2 today all the way 7ish on stand

thats even driving it in garage and taking bumper & bonnet off

less than 5 hrs engine removal ...

was going to get 88mm set anyways and yeah all ready sorted for engine tech to sort that out

PCV not sure .... what does it intail ?

Order a PCV delete kit to block the PCV holes in the plenum when you put your order in. Then you need to vent the crankcase breathers externally which i've seen done in a few different ways. Read this one the other day http://z32.wikispaces.com/PCV+Delete

 

Other people have fed a couple of pipes to a oil catch tank then dropped the exit pipe to the floor. I've also seen every breather piped together with silicon hoses then run out the back of the car. Having it vent in or under the engine bay can cause smells when you're stationary so better to run a pipe back.

so your looking at around 2k there, builds up quick hey.

 

2k if it all goes right,if it all goes wrong and a lot can do ..............

let me know when you can drive it in remove engine swop a tubby and drive the car back out in 4.5 hours. mwhahahah

 

Ridiculous. How many times have you done it?

Its probaly only held in with a few bolts,wing nuts in fact Lol.

haha .. few nuts yeah right ...

 

more like a few self tappers and some gaffa tape lol

 

this will be the 4th time now

I think you need to film it next time then speed up the video :thumbup:

pcv delete is fine when your running a map sensor,if your running a maf then basically your creating an air leak in the system which will cause all sorts of issues hence why removing the oil filler cap on a running zed causes idle issues etc.

Should add an oil pump(OEM) in there as its a critical part while you are in there.

the z oil pump is well known to be bomb proof. unless you have any issues with it there isent any need to replace it. i only replaced my one due to being flush when building my engine. lol

 

They are indeed a decent pump and seldom without issue too, IMO anyone with an engine stripped down would be nuts not to replace a 20 year old oil pump considering the cost of an OEM item and the potential cost of repairs, should it either fail or not work effectively.

Both of which you only find out when it's too late!

 

Smithy

engine is apart ....

 

any one like to guess what the problem is
