Going for a nice trip out to the lakes when a couple of bikers wanted some which i did but...

 

Big plumes of blue smoke when accelerating hard...the only good thing is that the other biker nearly fell off his bike cos he couldnt see :confused:

 

Pulled over had a look and nothing, no smoke on idleing.

 

Went out again and same again the harder i accelerate the more blue smoke. It still accelerated OK but the smoke screen it leaves behind cant be good.

 

So come on experts how much is this one gonna cost me :confused: :eek: :cry:

 

Kirbz

Tubs or gaskets :(

Hi Chris

 

How much for new gaskets??

 

How easy are they to fit??

 

Last one when can you get them??

 

The cars meant to be at SE open day next weekend and on the rollers, so i cant do that if she's gonna kill everyone with smoke poisoning :rolleyes:

 

Kirbz

or pistons :cry:

Not something i deal in sorry, you'd be better off talking to SE if you have their tubs. Either way mate it's not going to be cheap :cry:

Pistons??? :cry:

Mine eventualy went this way,oil rings shot i think,try taking off oil cap (slowly,bit of oil splash)when its been running a few minutes,if you have loads of smokey trying to gush out then defo piston/rings i rekon:(

I have spoken to a few people this morning and it sounds like its the tubs, the oil seals apparently have gone, so the turbo's either need refurbing or replacing :cry:

 

*****x *****x *****x

 

Kirbz

Well just spoken to SE and they say that with the turbo's i am running with the PSI going through them it deffo wont be the tubs??

 

They say it will be the pistons, probably cracked due to the BHP i'm running so its going to have a compression and cylinder leakage test on wednesday to see just how f**ked it is.

 

Looks like its forged pistons time

 

:slap:

 

Kirbz

;) watch out Macca

Mike - sorry I missed your msg m8, not been very well - I know I'm already sick in the head so no jokes thanks guyZ :p:D

 

A compression test will tell you if you have cylinder or turbo problems - leak down just has the advantage you know where its coming from. If you want a hand LMK m8 - in fact, gis a bell tonight if you want ;)

 

CheerZ,

 

Andy

Andy you have PM

Hey, kirbz, if you decide to scrap the car , can I have the telly!

 

:dance:

Hi Nigel

 

I dont think its gone that far just yet :rofl:

 

Feeling a bit better about it today :rolleyes:

 

Dont know why the engine has still got to come out...thanks andy d....christ i dont know about owing you a drink, by the time my cars next on the road i will owe you a brewery :D

 

Kirbz

Well did a compresion test today

 

1 - 160 psi

2 - 142 psi

3 - 155 psi

4 - 98 psi

5 - 160 psi

6 - 150 psi

 

Now i'm not an expert but even i might be able to tell where my problem is :rolleyes: :D

 

Ohh well forged pistons here i come.

 

Macca watch this space cos when i remove the engine i'm putting everything on it....granted it might be about 10 years till i can afford to do everything:) but when she does get back on the road she will be pushing serious bhp.

 

Kirbz

bummer! :(

 

at least you get to build it better & faster than it was before ;)

All i need now is someone to buy the wife...

 

I know buy one get one free...buy the wife get the six year old child free:D

 

Come on total bargain:slap:

 

Better sell some more photocopiers if i'm to earn some more money :rofl:
