Nice surprise

by Caly2c » Mon Jan 16, 2012 12:19 am

Well wheels may have to be put on hold. I went to replace my spark plugs and leads yesterday and found oil in the spark plug tubes :bazooka: more oil was in cyliners 1 and 3 than 2 and 4. I had the rocker cover painted a few years ago im thinking this may have weakened the gasket. I have always had engine ambitions but not right now hahaha. Really hoping its not the rings or even head gasket.

Cheers for replies.

Yeah gasket it is, it certainly hasnt lost any power. Still pulls hard. No smoke etc. But stranger things have happened. It is highish in the kays even though it sits in the garage most of the time. Although under 200k is pretty good for a near 20 year old :P

Still having problems Pete? I thought you sorted it with the ECU? We can fix together if you like?

Blown rings now.

Can't take a break, once it's fixed I'm selling it.

Glad yours is an easy fix mate :)
