Default PISTON 2 DEAD!!! UPDATE HEAD OFF - PICTURES NOW INCLUDED!!!

misfire at top end in 5th, pull in to the middle lane and smoke coming from the back

great!!

cant be turbo as its brand new (50 miles! )

if i had melted something, surley it wouldnt drive as i managed to drive it home (20 miles)

1) smoke (whitey blue) pissing from the exhaust on overrun and taking off

2) big oily haze on tarmac under the car

3) sounds like a tractor, misfiring everywhere


what are the odds its the headgasket (grp a shitter)?

or is it a blown engine?

thanks guys fecking car!

Dave pull plugs out and check, Most likely you have dropped enging, did you check the fuel pump volts with the electric problem you have.

Check plugs!!!! Look for a melted tip......or very light colour on one or more of the tips..suggesting that you mat have had lean mixture/failed/blocked injector

that DONT sound like head gasket to me more like it's run lean for what ever reason and put a hole in one or more of the pistons what new plugs did you use and what was your engine spec etc?

ps drove mine home 20 miles smoke out the back drank loads of oil no water loss and 1 piston was holed when 1st engine let go with Ł100 worth of so called NGK racing spark plugs

Alvyn, thats what I was thinking too......more like it has run lean.

He said that his plugs cost Ł 60.00....So I guess they must be NGK 9's

Dave's engine spec???? Oh yes: "Heavy on the Aeroquip"
