Engine Troubles

[BlAcKrZ]

gday

i have an r32 with an RB20DET and i have been having some trouble with my enging and to much pressure in the bottom of the engine.

i start the car up no smoke rev it to 3 or 4 grand and blows heaps of smoke like clouds of the shit,

i have done a compression test and it came back with 120psi accross all 6 cylenders.

i pulled the breathers off that go to the rocker covers and reved the same no oil untill i snap off the acceleraitor and then everything gets covered it had a habbit of blowing out the dipstick which im guessing is the same issue of to much pressure, i have replaced the pvc valve and no change.....

and im running out of options does any 1 know what the issue could be??

im thinking it could be either a cracked piston or maybe rooted rings...

it still runs well and goes pretty hard exept for the smoke......

thanks Blackrz

hey blackas sysmptoms sound the same as my engine was in its early stages of its death, mine was lower on compression in 2 of the cylinders tho, when the engine was stripped for rebuild, lowest cylinders had the sides burnt 0ut of the piston the others cracked rings, get it check by sumone who knows what they are on about. think you pressurise the sump and do the reverse of the compression test to find out if its blowing back through or sumthing like that. any way good luck or maybe time for a 25

if you get the chance drop into pro automotive in moonah and ask andrew to have a look - it will take 15 mins of your day and he will give it to you straight, no bullshit and then there wont be anymore guessing and wondering about it - he will tell you whats wrong and what needs to be done from here to get it peaking again

Service it blackaz, Also my 32 did a similar thing when I blocked off a breather line that goes into the intake...

hey hate to be the bearer of bad news but i'd say that your engine is dying, compression should be near the 160 mark

This might be off the money but my mate had the same problem (exact) with his car. Would not blow smoke till high in the rev range and he did blow his dip stick clean out of its home. Turned out to be a seal in the turbo going and it pressurized the oil feed line back through to the crank case and blew the dip stick out. Just a thought....
