Oil In Cylinder

I have a mate who just recently purchased a 33 and upon pulling the crappy eBay turbo off to replace with a standard unit he noticed some broken manifold studs and lots of oil build up around the exhaust flange and cylinder.

He sent me a picture but I am unable to work out what it could be.

He has a breather setup that is spraying oil everywhere which he is going to replace with a catch can. So I am unsure whether its just oil spray from that or if he has worn valve stems or something else.

What do you guys think it could be?

I would guess that cylinder is screwed. cracked ring lands more than likely.

Could do a comp and leak down test , but what does he want to achieve, it won't be an easy fix.

Does it smoke?

Might as well just drive it and plan on an engine swap soon.

Ok ill let him know next time I talk to him.

Might be in for a bit of butt hurt as he has just moved to Australia and this is his first skyline.

I think his plans are to mildly modify it to a decent standard so best bet would be for him to replace the motor as it looks really tired.

He said it was smoking a bit today but I told him it would be due to the breather on the pcv throwing oil up.

Yea might be worth a shot to look but judging from the pics it doesn't seem to be coming from that area.

It looks as if its coming from above which is why I suggested to him it could just be from his excessive blow by out the breather, however on second look it could be getting blown out the cylinder and leaking out past the gasket due to broken manifold stud not sealing properly, which is why there is also oil on the inside of the manifold.

We both live in Darwin so reputable mechanics are stretched far and thin and I have always done work on my own car due to this, so I wouldn't be able to suggest anyone to take it too for a proper analysis.

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆

      Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
