oil oil everywhere

hahaha, no problem man. I think I pretty much translated it for ya

Anyways, just make sure you do and check all these little things we're talking about before you go and head into the whole engine teardown process. Hopefully you'll find what you're looking for, and it'll save some headaches down the road when you do finally begin your rebuild.

just got time to do my compression test today and the results sucked.

that means fried rings and pistons right? a blown head gasket would not cause those readings right?

time for a rebuild

 

[selmerguy]

fun can't wait to take it apart. i have no real clue what i am doing is there a good thread on how to do it? how does the head work. do i just get it cleaned and put the same parts back in it?

 

[XMasta19]

It's not all too difficult, just time consuming pretty much. Are you planning on going with the bottom end kit from howell, or just gonna piece it all together? I'm not sure if they come with instructions, but I know someone with a little knowledge besides myself will swoop in and drop off a link you can use

 

[selmerguy]

i'll buy a kit from howell prolly. i'm pretty smart should be able to do it. just have a few questions about the machine work. more specificly the head. there are alot of little parts in there and i need to know if i just put the same parts back in after i get the head ported and polished.

A blown head gasket would give you those readings, especially if it's just blown around those 2 cylinders... that's probably you're problem... pull the head and check it out...

Good luck getting your kit before the end of summer 06.

What is it that you ordered from them? You've been complaining about it in every post for so damn long, I forgot what it is you're actually waiting on.

A blown headgasket does not always have blow out between two cyls. sometimes under boost it can blow outwards towards the outside of the block and that would also give you a loud exhaust leak AKA>lawnmover sound and if it blew it towards the back of the motor it could also possibly induce some compression into the oil drainback

hey so i am taking my head off and if i can ever get that last morot mount bolt off it will be done soon . i was just curious about my egr... if i turboed my 420a could i just block it off and still pass emissions. the turbo does the same thing as the egr kinda.

If you block off the EGR it will not pass Visual inpection, but you might pass emissions.
I know the MAX CO level here in Colorado is 20points and with my EGR blocked off I got 18points CO
If you can find a way to make it look like you still have EGR on your car you might still have a chance to pass as long as your COpoints are lower than the maximum allowed.

No the turbo dose not do the same thing as EGR because
The EGR is a valve that opens and sends Hot exhaust gases into your intake manifold to try and burn up some of the unburned gases to lower the emissions of your car.
this bad for HP because it is not cold dense air. Sooooo that robs you of hp

Now its the fuel system... and guess what? They sent it to me 2 weeks ago regular no tracking uninsured. I f-n overnighted the late fuel system to them to get it faster and they screw me on the shipping. I've got a week off school this week and had plans to completely install the turbo but now its delayed (again).

 

[selmerguy]

you can do the whole fuel system in an hour if its an fmu and fuel pump. it's reAL EASY. GOOD LUCK.

Alright I think I'll try that. What pump should I go for the 255lph or the 190? I'll have to run a search and see how to hook everything up. Anyway, what is this thing here?:

Its an FPR isn't that the same thing as an FMU?

what kind of fuel pressure regulator is that ???

I would get a 255lph it is kinda noisey but that is due to low voltage at lower RPM.

No a FPR and a FMU are kinda different in some ways and the same in others

they both will control static but the FPR deponding on wich on you have will rise the fuel 1:1 as for an FMU you can adjust between 4:1 - 12:1

 

[selmerguy]

i don't know that fmu i used a vortec 12:1. that looks like the one you get in a hahn kit. carteck or something like that. i heard they don't work that well.
i have been wanting to talk about fmu and fprs for a while and you gave me the window so here goes. (please correct me if i am stupid and wrong.) the fmu is a piggy back fuel setup that works with your stock fpr. now the sfmu takes the place of the fpr and does the job of both. so why not call it an adjustable fpr. the aeromotive fpr takes the place of the stock fpr but only adjusts to boost on a 1:1 ratio. to many things that do almost the same thing. so smart guys and gals(crazyclipse) which one is better and why???

Lots of oil problem!!!! ok so I have had that same problem with all the oil, but the thing with mine is it was comming out my BOV, I also heard a loud pop, but that was my J pipe that was coming off my turbo that blew up, I was replacing it when I noticed all this oil dripping out of my BOV and lots of oil all over inside... So I thought I blew my turbo or something, I took my turbo off the other day and it looks fine... there was one thing on it that looked kind of funny it looked like some oil was leaking from the housing through a seal or something, could I also have something blown in my engine or would my engine be making some unusual noises, so far my engine sounds fine, i hope its just my turbo but any suggestions would be nice, also about how much does it cost to get the compression test usually?

 

[selmerguy]

when you say your turbo is "fine" did you check for shaft play or did you just look at it? sounds like you have a blown turbo. or at least the seal might be bad. check your exhaust mani and see if there is any oil in there. if yes you might have a problem. if no then your motor is fine prolly.

I just got this problem this week...yesterday the CEL came on and i disregarded it being that it ran fine to me....then this morning going to work i changed gears from 2nd to 3rd and a big cloud of white smoke came out of my exhaust...an hour later the CEL light went off...i got home decided to put in my new air filter and i notice a lil bit of oil inside the filter...so i wanted to change my spark plugs too and when i pull out plug 2 its covered in oil...now i gotta get a compression test done tomorrow and will have to get a new headgasket... what i dunno is if its the valve cover gasket or not....guess i'll find out soon enough...
