Unfortunately I MAY have to pull out of this, suspected head gasket problems on my 26. I'm booked into Willall for a tune this Wednesday so I'll find out for sure then, fingers crossed it's nothing, if not, out comes the engine and rebuild time!

Seems to be the month for it... what happened?

drove through a huge puddle of water like an idiot... should have slowed down but didn't think it was that deep.

went from 60 - 10km/h in 3 seconds... then engine stalled. ended up sucking in water through the pod, milky engine oil, blowing smoke.

head gasket is ok, coolant is fine, no bubbles and such, no discoloration. flushed engine 3 times, put new plugs in it, starts and runs fine but is blowing clear white/greyish smoke constantly. really hoping its just the condensation from all the water that went through it.

last flush oil came up nice and clean, gonna put my regular synthetic oil in tomorrow morning and take it for a spin, see if the smoke clears out and then compression test it.

:)

if all else fails... 25/30 kicks in to motion.

wasent that january? or was jan the month for spun bearings, sept the month for low compression?? =P

What actually happened when you spun your bearing? High RPM range? Oil starvation? I'm scared to death one day my oil pressure will just drop off and spin a bearing haha. Over reacting I know but still.

How long untill you think your going to be out and about on the road? Standard rebuild? Feel free to PM me if you don't want this on the public forum :).

And luke for the short term I hope its not rebuild time but a stroker will be awesome in the long term.
