Well I think I got a bit carried away and lost no2 cylinder, I'm getting the classic chuff chuff from the exhaust, so suspect exhaust valve, and there was nothing left of the spark plug electrode :-( not a good day.

 

Head up there's always tomorrow

 

Been and done that before lol

Steve

 

the worst thing is ice got to drive it to Bolton lol to get it looked at, so I'll have to diss no2 injector and get down on 3 cylinders, it's actually still quite pokey on 3

 

Any ideas what sort of costs I'm looking at if it is a exhaust valve??? got told might of melted a piston, but the strange thing is I have no smoke at all when running, I have seen a piston off before and you could tell as lt was smoking it's tits off, even coming through the air vents, but this time the car runs spot on, just no2 down.

So what you guys recon?? Good and worst scenarios please

@ Steve how many ham buttys would have to be consumed to watch the job from start to finish, and how many sausage rolls per rounds of bread???

 

Just take it somewhere for a proper leak down test.
£40 of a job and should tell you what you need to know, and can be confirmed further with a video camera down the bore for Investigation.

 

I think it's melted a valve, and started to melt the piston too

 

Ok guys I'll keep you updated with the progress.

 

Well ladies and gents, found the problem









Hole in the valve, hole in no2 the piston and started to melt no 3 piston,

It's getting checked over to see if the bores are damaged, which i think they are a bit scored.

Inlet gasket looks like the cause, it had split :-(

not a good day :-(

 

Gutted! Big power time now

 

It was already built for big power. It came out of a 500bhp escort.
