hi guyes

the thing overheated and now it wont start :D , it turns over a faster than usual and still wont start . ive come here for some help

things i have checked are

cam is turning as seen through the oil filler hole

turn on key to run and fuel pump is working and feeling the fuel lines they swell so i asume pressure is good

fuses are all good

crank engine and injectors feel as though they are firing good .. all of them..

im thinking the injectors wouldent fire if the ign pickup was dead .is this corect???

it is all looking to me as though there is no spark

will all the ignitor modules fail at once with extreme heat???

could i have fouled plugs??

Turns over faster than usual?

cast block.... alloy head. Sound like expensive compression issues to me - as in a warped head.

compression test...

of course, the igniters do get pretty hot, so its probably worth the time to pull a cupld of plugs and check for firing. Also, in the mean time, someone with more of an idea may reply... I still say warped head. how overheated was it?

compression test...

how overheated was it?

I have to echo what ebola said. You should conduct a compression test as a rough check that the head is still sealing.

And when you say overheated, do you mean there was steam under the bonnet or did the water temp gauge actually move into the wrong side of the dial?

    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
