  1. the colour and carbon build up on all of the pistons would say are right .. the bad piston/cylinder doesn't have scores on it but its transferred alloy from the piston the ring looks intact but will know more when i strip lower block tomorrow started at 6pm finished 9:30 taking it from Full engine to bare short block
  2. sooo whats caused this ? is it just the Temp of running the engine hard ?
  3. Spoke to Turbo place and he explained how the oil can end up in the boost lines/exhaust with engine fail ... he said if a piston had a Hole in it and turbo was on + boost this would pressurize the crank case and push the oil back in to the turbo from the drain hole so oil is being forced from both ends of the tub so the only place for it to go is though the shaft oil seal and in to the pipes .. but hes all so said he would pick up and test and return the tubs for free so as you can see cylinder 6 has melted and all so looks to be a small gasket leak on from oil well to 5
  4. engine is apart .... any one like to guess what the problem is

  11. 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
  12. 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
