Ok, I'm Stumped

[zebra]

I'd say definately related

It still runs, has a slight miss at idle or when blipping the throttle

[Marcus89]

Interested to hear what caused the failure and whether it was the same component that was causing issues previously keep us in the loop. Going to grab another motor and swap over or go for a build?

[zebra]

Wrecker motor I think

cbf spending teh money on some fancy build, only to leave the standard turbos on it lol

[copycutter]

At least the wrecker long motor isn't too expensive compared to the RBs. Wonder what sort of operating conditions made it go in the end? All the stories you hear about the jays being unbelievably abused and still living happy lives you must think this think must have gone through hell or had virtually no maintenance...

Ye, before it came to Canberra it had a rubbish life by the looks of it, The guy I bought it from spent a small fortune getting it to where it is (was)

Had a cam cover off and inside the motor is blacker than the paint ont he car lol

[copycutter]

Lol spew

Damn these people & lack of mechanical sympathy

[zebra]

Hahah yeah, it happens, nothing I can do about it

I would like to rebuild the motor and keep it matching #'s if possible

But 5k+ vs 1k lol

See what happens, will be sure to post up pics of what it looks like inside when I get the motor out and stripped

[DVS JEZ]

sorry to hear man.

Do a comp test to check which cyl/s

[zebra]

Thanks, will comp test it when I can, iirc #4 or #5 was the pot with low comp at the start of this thread

[Dobz]

Very interested as to what happened here, need full autopsy results.

[zebra]
