Help engine needed
Checked mine over today and it appears to be knackered.
I have water in the oil, and 0 compression on cylinders 1+3, while 2+4 are at 50psi. :( I need to find an engine please. Just need a running engine, consisting of heads and block. This way I can use my inlet manifold, injectores, water, oil pump etc.:norty: Anyone got a spare lying around??:thumb: |
unlucky mate :cry: hadnt you just rebuilt it?
chris :thumb: |
Yes mate, thats right :cry:
I used those cometic gakets, and just seem to have failed really quickly. Im looking into cracked heads or block next.............:wonder: In the mean time I need a running engine so I can sort this one |
will have a version 5/6 sti rebuilt using std parts but sti9 crank just waiting for mine to be rebuilt

Yeah chris that right.
I had a valve fail end of December on way back from Devon........to much boost not enough fuel:nono: was running 23psi on 440`s so was only a matter of time :( Didnt think those gaskets were that cheap ??? Are these something people stay away from then?? |
no
the fibre gasket are ok on std engine but if your running good bhp the metal layed only |
Apparently they were 5 layer steel gaskets!!!!
But , the car has thrown up a few strange ones!! Appears it has a v1-v2 bottom end, based on tensioners. But v3 heads and ancillaries???:( is this possible, will v3 bits fit v2 block?? |
yeah v1-4 long motors are interchangeable its the manifolds and power steering and other ancilleries are different
|
Interesting, but I want to get mine back to all v3...........
