piston rings or headgasket??

[carrington865]

the glanza is quite poorly at moment.

lately the engin has been well down on power. and it has slightly started to sound like a subaru. not badly just on light throttle.

have checked the coolant level and thats fine. there no mayo on oil or rad cap. however there is quite alot of oil coming out of the rocker cover breather.

the engin has also started to sound abit of mechanical since the issue started. i think its ringland failure but wanted opinions b4 spend cash.

GLANZA :shoot:

do a compressing check. most common cause excessive low (breather smoke) by is due to piston rings or ringland failure.

could not be sure mate but excess oil in breather i thought was rings or some failure of compression piston related

 

[billybob]

most likely the ringlands are gone comp test should give you an idea

As agreed im going with ringland failure, do a compression test you'll soon find out
