Hi guys,

I have engine oil leak from under the car and found out that it could be the crank f%&ked....

reason is that the seal has been changed twice withing 3 weeks and it still happens.....

Been told that the crank might be f&%ked or the oil pump.....

anyone has any ideas for any other alternative :D

one mechanic told me that they can re-polish the crank instead of changing it and not to rebuild the engine as it will cost a lot and not good for the engine.....

since the engine is going to be ripped apart, do you guys think its good to get it rebuild as well with forged pistons and stuff ????

Any good places you recommend or might as well get a second hand engine????

PLEASE HEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPPP :(

if you have the $$ go for it with upgrading the parts..but if you dont then leave it...its all depends on your budget...wouldnt trust just random second hand engine...well thats my personal opinion....can be wrong...and who ever you speak to, make sure they have worked on the engine heaps before to ensure the best quality of work....

i agree. i was in the same boat when my bottom end bearing went.

It all depends on how much your willing to spend. my rebuilt with forged bottom end ended up costing over 10g alone.

Take it to a few other places if you can and get them to have a look at it like RE customs or Racepace.

Spoke to Chasers in Ringwood....

They can do the engine rebuild by changing the pistons to Forged CP Racing pistons, Tomei Conrod and ARP head bolt.....

costing me $7000.00............

what you guys think???

if im only doing the crank and oil pump change, will be $4300.00.....

Sounds like its just the oil pump mate. Get it looked at properly before getting too excited about rebuilds.

Just a oil pump seal/replacement will be signifigantly less.

As for a rebuild if you need it, Racepace.

But i highly doubt you need one mate, sounds minor.

How many KM has the engine got if its a high motor could also be ring damage and pressurising the sump and blowing the seal out.

Ive seen it happen on cars with high KM and worn rings.

You need to find out if the seal is tearing or if its blowing out is its tearing then it would be from either improper instalaling with a bur on the crank or a worn spot in the crank to cause it to tear the seal.

If its blowing out then the sump is filling up with cylinder pressure.

Only done 100K and just did major service recently.....

seal has been changed 3 times now....

not sure what to do as nothing can be done until the motor is down......

wouldn't it blow out the dip stick first?

it depends mate all engines are different on this toyota engine that it was happening two was blowing out the front seal i changed it 4 times for him second time i pulled the oil pump off cleaned up the crank and put a speedy sleeve on the crank as it did have a wear mark in the crank it was good for about 3-4 weeks then slowly started to leak then will end up pissing out.

THis one had a big sign as not only was it pissing oil out the seal but out the exhaust as well so not only was it burning oil but leaking it as well.

Just for starters give the engine a compression test just to rule out if its down one one piston some times you might get an engine that has got ring or ringland damage that you wont pick up be the ear and its pressurising the sump.

Other then that pull the front off clean up the crank see if its got and marks or burs if so hit it with emmery then a speedy sleeve if it is bad.

Just because it may read 100,000km doesnt mean its done that

silly question but the same workshop done the seal 3 times? and had they used only OEM seals? the aftermarket ones are shit and they do leak after a small amout of time.

Both genuine and aftermarket seals were used.

Just found out that the oil could be leaking from Cams and dripping down to the crank seal.....

Will get it checked out.....

might clean the engine myself, put the car up and accelerate while its up.....

will than be able to see the leak where it is coming from......

its totally f**ked....might have spent the same money on tuning and turbo upgrages!!!!

never had this happen before....been told that it was happening before the major service, but i doubt it....only realised after the service that my driveway started to have stains......

never had any oil marks on my driveway, and now, oil marks everywhere.....

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
