Air fuel ratio. Why would that make my engine breath to much.

What is a AFR

Basically number 4 big end went. So I bought a recon bottom end £1000 of a jap specialist. Had new bearings oil seals. Conrods pistons and rings. Block was honed everything was good. So I got the bottome end and put my old head on. I though it didn't need skimming as it hasnt over heated on me...

Yeah I was one of those that bought the car for £2000. And have spent £4000 on a new engine and other parts and now it's done it again after 1000 miles. Had new rings and pistons 1000 miles ago. The car is just bad news.

There's smoke coming out of the engine but that's because the turbo seal has gone. It's blue on tick over but when you rev it or drive it stops as it burns. Surely if it was a ring it smoke all the time. Even when driving. ! What would happen if I blocked up that breather just so I can sell it...

I dunno. Just thought it could show if the ring was gone.

But when the head was of we checked for play in the piston and and there wasn't anyplay. And the engine isn't running lumpy now.

My rocker cover breather is blowing smoke way to much. The other day before I took it to the garage it was only a little bit. Little sprays of oil. It's now had a head skim and now it's smoking like a bitch out the top. I did 40miles opened the bonnet and the engine bay is dripping in oil. How...

Yeah that was done again today. Got taken back 2 teeth how I had it before I took it into the garage.

Also my battery hasn't been holding its charge recently. I had to jump start it earlier as it was dead but drove around did about 5 miles. That should give it enough charge to start the engine over fine. I dunno. That could be it.

Hello I've taken my car to the garage and had the head skimmed and pressure tested. And now it's taking 6 years start. It winds and winds about 5 to 10 times before it starts. Before I took it to the garage. It's started 1st or second time. :( Why is it doing this? Thanks I've gOt new...

Cool. That's it then. The timing was fine before I took it to the garage then when I got it back he told me I had the timing out 2 teeth. I was like oh. I took it around the block flat out in first gear I was doing about 5 mile an hour. So cool basically I had the timing right and he was wrong...

That's def on my mind but it's running so nice on tick over.

Hello I've taken my car to the garage and had the head skimmed and pressure tested. And then new gaskets and bolts. I've just gone to pick it up it's running sweet on tick over but when you put the throttle down it takes about 16 years to pick up. Is this a fuel problem, ignition, or like a...

Can't see how that's possible as the inlet side is the thicker side and would need longer bolts.
