Spitting oil from breather

[sx_turbo]

its very common, there is a huge restriction in runner 3, and causes massive heat build up when running higher than standard boost.

so yes a new mani will also be needed. once you have rebuilt the engine, and replaced the mani, the engine will be sound.

cheers for the help mate great

What sort of mani-and price est ?

 

[sx_turbo]

speak to dave burwash, fella

 

[TurboDave]

You have probably cracked a piston mate.

f

?????

he could port the stock manifold, but there is no proof that this works 100%.

 

[TurboDave]

I think the ported manifold will work.

We will see if mine survives the mapping and ill get the digi thermometer on it when she is up and running again.

headgasket set is £88 genuine toyota. rings will prob be £50+. not sure on the piston, your better off getting a used one. hopefully the bore isnt worn too much. put a ring in the bore before you fit the piston, and check the end gap (with feeler gauge) to see if its within the tolarence..

 

[gavcollier]

ill just strip it down and see what i will find

Has anybody got a guide on the timming,or is it straight forward

 

[sx_turbo]

pistons are about £60 each.

 

[gavcollier]

thats a bummer,i heard they were £34 each


This is going to add up

 

[sx_turbo]

well they cost me about £240 for all 4 off the top of my head

You Can Buy A Low Mileage Engine On Ebay For £450.....

Theyre Based In London, Got My Evo 3 Engine From There And It Was Fine

 

[gavcollier]

can you only buy one?

 

[stuart]

You can buy single pistons yeah

 

[gavcollier]

thats great,ive sorted the price for the head gasket set off the traders section

£65 which i thought was very good

 

[TurboDave]

Ive got 3 good condition pistons and rods if you need one asap.

I am using one in my engine on the weekend.

Wont want much for one complete with a rod, I will also have a spare set of shells to save you buying the whole set (like I had to) as it is good practice to put new shells in with the different rod/piston.

You will need,

Headgasket
headbolts
Piston (most probably)
2 shells

 

[gavcollier]

Headbolts is a must then dave i take it?

 

[sx_turbo]

it wont hurt, for the sake of £20 quid, there worth getting.

also you will need a special tool for the head bolts, costs £12 from toyota.

 

[gavcollier]

right ok,best give them a ring then,this is going to cost alot of cash

I think after its done im going to sell up,wasnt expecting all this to happen

i know ever car has its faults but theres no way i can afford to do this all the time
and by reading some posts it seems to happen a lot

 

[sx_turbo]

to be honest you bought a tuned car, that wasnt done to the best it could have.

if it didnt have the standard mani on it, you would have had no problems at all.

thats the same with me i bought a car that hadnt been tuned correctly, and i paid the price for not having the knowledge before i bought the car.
