What flush did you put in the car? There is nothing you can put in your engine that will melt/disolve porcilain...

If it's stopped ticking... dosn't mean it's fine.

FFS! at very least get a compression test done.

Paying someone to look at it is relativly cheap. Best case- you pay someone a couple hundred bucks get a compression test and to put a scope in and check it out. Worst case- you dive it around till it it destroys the head, bore, piston... then little bits of piston/bore/valve do get into the oil and get sucked through the engine. Total loss.

$200 or $4000 ???

Get the fattest piece of hose you can get through the plug hole and still wiggle around, tape one end of the hose to the most powerfull vacuum cleaner you can find hose , empty the vac before you start so you can see what you've managed to get out , now , shove the taped on hose down the plug hole n start vac'n and wigglin .

  • 4 weeks later...

When I changed my spark plugs the other day I noticed the spark plug from cylinder 6 had some porclin from around the tip broken off.... not sure when this happened but im guessing it happened when i accidently boosted it to 1.6bar a few weeks earlier.... I was in second and saw the needle go past 1.5 n backed off straight away n i think it detonated which in turn caused the plug to break :P

Im guessing the damage has already been done :D

anyone else have this problem?

detonation from overboost wouldnt break a spark plug.. they break either from force, or from excessive heat then force.

in other words you smash them with a tool or something, which is alot easier to do when theyve been baked.

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
