hey everyone,

just need a rough idea of what happened to my engine. i was driving home and it suddenly sounded like it was running on 5 cylinders, i just made it home and noticed when i accelerate, shit loads of white smoke come out of the exhaust (so much i couldnt see out the rear window lol). it eventually sounded worse and worse then wouldnt start. when i did a compression test, all cylinders had good compression except number 4. number 6 spark plug had oil all over it and coolant spurts out of the chamber when cranking. theres no coolant in any other chamber except #6. the oil on the dipstick isnt milky and very clean. any ideas of what happened and how much to fix will be greatly appreciated!! thanks heaps!

White smoke, water, oil. Head gasket is first guess, maybe cracked head, possibly cracked block but being an RB20 I doubt it.

Really need to look at it otherwise it is all just guess work.

Pull the head off as it has to come off regardless. Then you will know!!!

      I think throwing the hydraulic power steering system into the trash and converting to electric power steering, e.g. Astra PS pump would solve many issues.

      so finally had an event i was home for that didn't get rained off or otherwise cancelled to be able to actually drive the car, unfortunately was roll racing which isnt my favourite thing ever but had an awesome night with friends and testing the car out. obviously a huge difference in driving experience with the samsonas although still without flat foot upshifts the ratios are so much nicer and actually has boost into the next gear which was not something i always experienced with the stock gearbox. but of course absolutely loving the sound of the sidepipe and for its downfalls of ruining the car in ever other way it does sound awesome at the track.   had some weird issues where it would misfire in 2nd but fine in every other gear and at the end of the night at the end of the run would have no throttle until it decided it wanted to work, so will be looking into that before a proper track night coming up in just over a week to really see the changes in the car.

      I think I will try out Frenchy’s power steering kit. Looks like a better solution.

      Useless lot aren't they? Releasing stuff on the market that doesn't do what it's supposed to do without you stuffing about with it and spacing out the spacer lol. FFS.
