Adam,

Out of interest, what were the symptoms of your broken ringland? Was it a major failure that was obvious (bang, smoke, noises that shouldn't be there etc) or a gradual thing? I'm guessing there was audible detonation?

Cheers,

Hi whatsisname i had no warning didnt hear any pinging had it on a dyno for a tune up drove it home got up in the morning poped the hood and i noticed oil had been spraying out the BOV and boost solinoid .Took the car for a drive it still had heaps of power. So i took the car to PSI performance and he tested the comp ratios and thats when i was told the bad news that i needed a rebuild

Good to see all is well now mate (many $$$ later).

So on the pre "bad news" test drive did it make any nasty noises? Anything else (other than the oil out the BOV & solenoid)?

Thought it'd be a good idea to get a bit of this kinda' info on the forum, for future reference.

No nothing no odd noises.I was lucky i think because when the ring land cracked the bits didnt go through the engine they stayed in place but the oil and air could flow through the cracks easy

Thanks for the info mate. Good luck at the drags.
