If i'm there i'll be up for it!

Yep

Yep, any will fit.

If i remember correcty my old pc (Now running Fedora Core 1) has a Conexant Inc jobby in it and needed a windows patch to get it working! I'll have a dig round tonight and see if i can dig the drivers etc out. It may help.

I HATE mine :cry: :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

ahh! so you should be able to feel it then?

How much play is ok? Anyone know? Cheers Mathew

Happy birthday m8

WTF?

in that case, i'll come too! (yum, free beer) :slap: :rofl:

It can, as long as the socket fits in there. but to be honest, its not that hard to wip the cams out to get to the bolts.

Right! shes striped down to the block now! still cant see any major problems yet. gotta check each piston and bore tomorrow lunch. Any one have any more sugestions what it could be?

Ok, looked at the PCV hoses and all are clear so far :cry: so its not that! Any other sugestions? heads should be off by the end of the day.

2 sets of Axel stands! thats what i use!

:rofl: Ahh, so thats the Key! that will make it easy to fill now!

Cheers for the info m8. Plenum was clean as a whisle when i rebuilt it, turbo pipes and intercoolers are dry as a bone, no oil what so ever. Gonna go strip/Check it some more now. :hyper:

LOL, no loose screws in the engine, only in my head :slap: i know the oil is comeing in via the PCV's or at least it looks that way as the valves were full of oil and so was the rubber pipe that joins to the valve. Will know more when i look later.

PCV's were changed when i did the first rebuild, even changed the rubber pipes (all of them) i'll have a look at the metel ones at lunch, maybe there is a blockage. What ones are the ones to check?

Cheers bud, compression test was perfect! all spot on.

Thanks for the info mike! It was defo not over filled, Starting to think its a piston gone :cry: :cry:

Whats the good of removing it? any downsides?

Right, please help me guys, My zed is smoking on overrun, but only if the speed is aprox 60mph or more. now on looking at the Plenum its full of oil, so is the VCV valves and hoses. this is defo whats causeing the smoke, right here is the question, Where is this oil comeing from and why, Turbos and intake hoses are bone dry, also dont know if this is related but the metal pipe from the drivers intake cam cover has been blown out like preasure had built up in the cover. by the way the PCV valves, and hoses are all less then a year old. Cheers Guys. Mathew P.S. Set a new personal record for pulling an engine! 4 Hours :dance: :dance:

Wow, mine looks ace :D roll on billing!

theres also a signal wire there too! so you can hook up a rev counter while working on it!

They can if the pads and/or disks are knackerd.
