I guess you need to know about 480s or be really sad

Oh and it's not connected for the water cooling.

right then did the bloke the hose thing and it ran the same

i tested the compression and have 10 bar on every piston except No.2 ( from the flywheel) which has nothing what so ever did the test twice on it and had the same reslts, the spark plug was black wit oil or fuel so it looks like 1 of 2 things i can think of
1. the head gaskit is leaking to the oil drainage holes
2. the rings and/or piston are damaged

what do u think ? any sugestions are welcome but in the end i think the head is gone have to be pulled

i hope its the head gaskit i cant face doing the bottem end

oh and dont knock masterbation its sex with somone u love

head gasket.....simple but usually effective method of finding out if its gone.
start car and leave idling for say 5 to 10 mins.
try to squeeze the top radiator hose....if its [img]really[/img] hard, then its indicative of the headgasket going....(water system getting pressurised.)
its not a faultless way of telling, but has been right on all the cars ive had with blown gasket.

tbh though...sounds like piston rings to me

Except the gasket can go without pressurising the water system. *No* compression is a bit odd. Something must really have gone :S

Head gasket does sound likely.

yay i found the problem it has a fower shaped piston

and a nice melted/gowdged cylinder boar to boot

. so any one know of a new block i could get my hands on plus a piston and rings? im glad the waiting part is over i hate not knowing what the prob is.

the head +gaskit are fine

can u still get parts from the dealer

I have 4 pistons. I think these are A's

Eep, the dangers of a stuck injector.

Only Dust · Post by **Only Dust** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 7:57 pm

??? what u mean ??? stuck closed or open
can i test?? u think injector did this

JohnTurbo · Post by **JohnTurbo** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 10:27 pm

Lean running makes the heat, not rich. Its too little rather than too much petrol that would do that.

It was an injector that fried martin's i seem to remember?

martinholmesuk · Post by **martinholmesuk** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 11:26 am

This is what mine looked like. Bad injector to which I had them all rebuilt.

Only Dust · Post by **Only Dust** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 10:06 pm

nice

would and upgrade to different injectors prevent this ? i hear volvo 740 injectors fit i think i read this on hear, has any one done this and has it been ok?

a guy i was talking to looked at me engine he said it may have been the oil sprayer under the cylinder that could of caused this what u guys think has any one had that prob b4?

since im getting a complete engine soon what would be the things to do now whilst its all out, i have a new clutch kit to go in, a new timing belt and rotor arm an cap but is there anything else thats more important that could be upgraded without any changes to ecu as i have no way of playing with that (yet

)

im looking for serious safe power if u get me. the turbo being changed is an option but im interested to know how other systems like maf and ignition will respond to this

JohnTurbo · Post by **JohnTurbo** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 10:14 pm

I don't know that there even is an oil spray on the 1.7T.

I'd say that its very unlikely to be your problem though.

Some 2.0 have them, some don't.

Only Dust · Post by **Only Dust** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 10:38 pm

havent looked for them, read about it in haynes bob (book of bulls~#t).

once me new block comes ill check me old one for them and let ya know

i intend to smash up that perticular injector with a hammer just incase though

that could be my check to see if its broke

Only Dust · Post by **Only Dust** » Sat Dec 22, 2007 7:55 pm

Ok taking that engine out for the first time was fun! took 7 hours!! had to drop sub frame to get the bell housing off

but all is ready for the new block to go in

i noticed that the starter dont mount to the block its mounted fully to the gear housing

bit of a wierd on but my question is how the fudge do u get that startert in place and do up nuts with the engine in place ?? maybe remove a drive shaft or am i worring bout nothing

i got some pics to put up will do soon
