engine!!!! please read
IT MUST BE GONE??? BASICALLY I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN THE GARAGE FOR ABOUT 5 MONTHS NOW. i have changed the box clutch and fitted an oil breather system and changed the crankshaft oil seal. Having started the car after 5 months perfectly i was very pleased, then took it out i was happier. So i took it for m.o.t yesterday and it passed, then i done 250 slow miles to run in the new parts. The car felt spot on and no missfire or no pinking, so i thought it was time to put my boot down and test it on boost. Having done this i was overly impressed by the performance and the smoothness. There was no clutch slip or anything at all, the car felt fine. SO ANYWAY I DECIDED TO GO FOR AN EVENING THRASH AND CAME UP AGAINST A TYPE R, HAMMERED HIM BUT IT WAS CLOSE AND MY CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS HOLDING BACK, as soon as i was slowing down the engine oil light came on and i stoped the car after bout a minute, it was very tappy. I checked the oil and filled it which it didnt need however the light was still on and it was still tapping. I checked under the car and there was no signs of oil leak anywhere and i cant see any oil on the floor. WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER, ANY IDEAS???????? DO U THINK SHE WAS DETONATING AND I GOT A HOLE IN MY PISTON???? i fear that my engine has given up has any1 got any advice. after doing all this work i didnt have it set-up, very foolish but i was going to do it next week and i only used it coz it seemed fine.
