Here is a picture of the state of my car

and here is a picture of my head, so much for three years of optimax


cheeRS Dave.

PS I am taking the engine out with Big Andy W and its killing us

 

Im not sure what your saying about the head there Dave.....

 

As stu has said, what exactly is the problem with the head?

 

the valves on both sides have about two to three mil's of hard carbon on , I was expecting it to be a litle cleaner.

Dave.

 

nice shiney bucket

 

Carbon deposits are normal, and the amount is usually down to driving style and engine setup. (i.e. fueling)

 

Fookin bufty...
What are the pistons like? Thats far more important, get the camera back out!!

Dark Tan is the colour we want to see...

 

by the way I stole Kev H's picnic blanket from last time we went camping it's in front of the car

 

the pistons are a nice black colour I will post a picture tommorow.

Dave.

 

Thats my S/S Budweiser bucket

 

Are they fook there covered in carbon! Which proves wot i've been saying all along!! You are and you drive like a clay pipe engineer!!

 

LOL

try using cleaner fuel in future mate

 

a nice lambda map would be mint in there why u taking the engine out?????????????

 

Where was you off tonight then? I was following you down golden hill lane.

 

If i was in the Escort i was out antilagging every one!

If i was in the Mondeo i was going to Daves to drink his free beer!

 

It was the E'scrote and it was being driven reasonably normal...

 

Yes it was being taken for a burn! only went out after 10 ain't up to temp til Moss side roundabout!!

Then a raped its arse!

 

I was following you up till AFL where I turned right and headed into Lostock Hall and ultimately home.

Just Bluetoothing some porn from PC to PC and the phone!

 

can I join the Bluetooth porn club

Dave.

Sorry Dave

 

Here is a picture of my block, with valve damage



and here is a picture of the inlet manifold with fooked gasket.



Iam surprised it didn't meltdown with the state of that gasket


Dave.

 

You are a pessimist arent you Dave
That gasket (If indeed it does leak) would just make her run a little rough at idle and cruise, not melt her down...

Its also very very rare you ever take a cossie head off and DONT find piston's damaged by valves mate..

Get her back on the road where she belongs, nice car as i recall

 

I was told that with the gasket blocking off the spray pattern of no three injector it could have caused my engint to melt

Dave.

 

The port injection angle is much steeper than it may at first look due to teh spray pattern Dave, unless the photo isnt a good representation of your issue..

Also, all pots appear to be a very similar colour, a nice dark brown, suggesting fuelling was pretty uniform

 

Save it for me!!

Only if you get a proper phone!

 

It was a typically shite photo! looking down the injector hole the gasket was down nealy half way! maybe not such a problem with greens but on blues i think that what cause me to nip a ring on number two! Guess this is because this is where the oil runs down from the rocker cover cap and lubes that part of the gasket up!

Who knows just put a Cometic one on it you

 

LOL dont owrry mate mine looks worse at the moment!!!

Hopw you get it back on the road soon
