Missing And Pissing Water

i got a bit of water into the spark valley the other day so it wasnt always firing all cylinders and this is where i think the problem started. a warning light came on, i dunno what it is, but it the warning light looks like a box with smoke coming off it, so i drove it about 300m home and switched it off as soon as i got it in the driveway (possibly my next big mistake).

i got rid of all the water from the spark valley and tried starting it again, but now it had a bad miss from the 5th cylinder. i checked the spark plug, coil, compression and changed the injector. i started it again and it ran fine for about 30 seconds (idling at about 1500 which is a little high but i wasnt worried) before i noticed green water coming from the engine somewhere on the intake side and it started missing again

im thinking it could be a blown gasket. and if ive blown the gasket i might have also cracked the head. what do u guys think it is?

ok i think ive just solved it lol. just a bit of retardation on my behalf :happy:. it was pissing coolant coz i didnt hook the coolant lines back up to the throttle body and i think its still not running right because i didnt tighten up the bolts holding the injector rail in place, so its sucking air thru and running fast and lean. and in my troubles i found out what that bleed valve does lol. thanks anyways guys. ill let you know if i f**k up again :P

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
