Unfortunately I MAY have to pull out of this, suspected head gasket problems on my 26. I'm booked into Willall for a tune this Wednesday so I'll find out for sure then, fingers crossed it's nothing, if not, out comes the engine and rebuild time!

Going stroker build and all if this is the case?

Seems to be the month for it... what happened?

drove through a huge puddle of water like an idiot... should have slowed down but didn't think it was that deep.

went from 60 - 10km/h in 3 seconds... then engine stalled. ended up sucking in water through the pod, milky engine oil, blowing smoke.

head gasket is ok, coolant is fine, no bubbles and such, no discoloration. flushed engine 3 times, put new plugs in it, starts and runs fine but is blowing clear white/greyish smoke constantly. really hoping its just the condensation from all the water that went through it.

last flush oil came up nice and clean, gonna put my regular synthetic oil in tomorrow morning and take it for a spin, see if the smoke clears out and then compression test it.

:)

if all else fails... 25/30 kicks in to motion.

wasent that january? or was jan the month for spun bearings, sept the month for low compression?? =P

What actually happened when you spun your bearing? High RPM range? Oil starvation? I'm scared to death one day my oil pressure will just drop off and spin a bearing haha. Over reacting I know but still.

How long untill you think your going to be out and about on the road? Standard rebuild? Feel free to PM me if you don't want this on the public forum :).

And luke for the short term I hope its not rebuild time but a stroker will be awesome in the long term.

    • I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side
    • Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.
    • Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
    • Wow that's a steal, you've done well there.
