Put the car back together and ran fine. But tonight I went for a drive and found the car seemed to hold back. Got back home and found the car to be breathing heavy, as when I took the oil filler cap off which pops off now and again the car doesn't die. It seems to be pumping quite a bit of pressure out of the crankcase pipe that attaches to the the top right of the rocker cover.

There also seems to be quite a bit of oil in the boost pipes.

Also there is oil coming out of the in car bleed valve when boosting up.

Any ideas?

Cheers

your breathers are blocked mate!
time to replace or upgrade the standard ones!

Bailey etc. do uprated ones can pick em up for ~£80-100

either that, oil in boost pipes usually means that turbo seals are on there way

There should be limited oil in the pipes, not much tho! I'd say as Rich says, upgrade ur breather system

Found the problem. Ran a compression test yesterday and found No4 to be well down on compression. I think I have got some wellseal caught up in the rings so they are sticking. Hopefully anyway.

Or worst case no4is holed Good luck sorting it mate

Stripped it and found the piston to be cracked. Gutted. Only marked the barrel slightly so I might get away with it. Took some pictures. What do think?

Shit luck mate, dont look good

Got an engine lined up which I should be picking up tomorrow then I can re-build this one to a much better standard uprated pistons, cam, lightened flywheel etc at my leasure. Which will be alot better.

Cheers
