Default i think i fuked the Zetec turbo on top speed run on the M1

i was giving it beans chasing my mates in a 200sx and a cossie keeping up rearly well (up to 140 cough*)and everything seemed normal untill i stoped for a piss somwhere and when i was cranking it over it sounds like one or more cylenders hant got any compression

once running it drives normaly and power fells about right and it dont smaoke all the time apart from my usualy smokey turbo problem on over run

once cranked up it ticks over normaly and drives normaly

water and oil are ok too

i have a innovate wideband guage installed in my car and wad reading 10.5:1 AFR at 140 mph so was quite rich to say the least!

does it look like i have melted the headgasket between 2 cylenders?

Can't help you about your problem mate but isn't this a brand new build!?

Surely you shouldnt have these type of problems already!

Perhaps you should adjust your topic title to something along the lines of "i think i fuked the Zetec turbo on top speed run on the PRIVATE TEST TRACK NEAR ME HOUSE"

U sound like ur being a little bit of a hypocondriac...... The starter motor itself can cause this..... If it runs fine, u must have compression, but do a test.... Mine's been past 140 loooooooads of times without a hitch touch wood.

yeah, my motto is if it ain't broke don't fix it!

& funny noises don't count, turn the music up loader!
