Yet again i have another problem but i think this is more serious

The Breather comming out of the top rocker cover is spitting out oil

if i drive it very slow the oil does still spit out but very little

but as soon as i get the revs up the oil is all over the engine

Hope someone can help me

Not having much luck with this car

Thank you in advance

Probably you cracked a ring land on the piston mate. Get a compression test done and dont drive the car if you can. Dont risk scratching the bore.

piston rings or cracked piston :(

Mine didnt spit oil, just black smoke from breather, I had 3 cracked pistons :(

I've had 2 rebuilds mate, its worth every penny.

Depends, pistons are £34 each I think from Toyota (standard) and rings are I think around £70 for full set of 4, you can't buy them singles.

not to sound like a gimp, but only reason why the rings/pistons would go is because the boost has been adjusted the fuelling not compensated?? or is it a common problem on starlets for the rings/pistons to go naturally?

i have not adjusted it at all,i bought it as it was

those prices dont seem to bad,but i wont be able to do it myself so labour will probs be a right bitch

most probably its a goner piston ring if breather is spitting too heavy oil but a compression test will tell u if it is. i think this is called blow-by if i remember corectly.

not sure dont have boost gauges

one thing that may help is now and again the engine managment light comes on,then when i stop and turn it off it goes out

A spec list like that and no boost gauge? WTF?! With the F-CON I wouldn't think you'd be running lean so maybe its just natural wear. How old is it and how many miles?

And buy a boost gauge!

I dont agree... it could be that he was seriously overboosting thats y he melted a couple of pistons or fried some rings...

that doesnt mean he was running lean, well not necessarily, it could have been cause of too much boost..
