URGENT oil pressure stop engine
Pesky jones:
Could be. You mean remove the inlet manifold and clean the valves up? Might do it if I get some free time
r5gtt:
Didn't you take the head off and have all the access with the inlet removed or am I missing something?
Pesky jones:
Yeah id say youve missed a chunk of the thread :signLOL: perhaps when you were on holiday. It didnt come to that in the end. I replaced the snapped chain and tensioner and timed it up. Then with that done I compression tested it by turning the crank manually, which returned 30psi across all four cylinders. Although that is very low, it was atleast the same pressures acrossall cylinders. I then did a compression test via the starter motor which returned 150psi across all four cylinders. This is stil low but the engine hadnt run for ages so I reckon it was pretty dry and I think if i did it now it would be higher. But seeing as it appeared that there wasn't significant valve or piston damage I decided to try and start it. It started but run rough (timing issue). But in the end the head didn't need to come off.
r5gtt:
Oh flicking heck I did miss a lot of the posts :doh:
I have a bad feeling here regards piston to valve slap but that's just my wild imagination running off with me.
Still manifold off decoke the fecker and hopefully the hick up should become less apparent. Why not try a can of Mr muscle foam over cleaner through the inlet port and see of that helps :wink: it's good shi* yo. :grin:
Pesky jones:
Its really not that noticeable to be honest. My girlfriend cant hear it. I might get round to cleaning the inlet at some point
