big pieces of anything in the oil cant be good...

glad it ran for you though...

[lilcrash]

Biggest maybe 3/4-1 mm. Looks like alluminium. Il try to get a pic

[lilcrash]

My wife's watching tv so I can't get on the computer. But this shows most of it.

[lilcrash]

To me it looks like the block wasn't cleaned out properly, after close examination looks like swarf from the rebore

[The Mafia]

how did you clean it? I used a 3000psi aquablaster, toilet brush, and lost of detergent....

Please tell me you did the final wash properly....!

[lilcrash]

the workshop did it

[lilcrash]

i stood there while they did it. this is rediculous. if my engine fails im gonna be rather annoyed.

Get an oil analysis and find out what it is before you start it again. If it is something bad it is better to pull it down now before it gets worse.

[75coupe]

never trust a junkie workshop, well maybe sometimes...

[PN-Mad]

I don't have any experience with this, but it did jog my memory to this thread.

[lilcrash]

Yeah I read that thread ad it progressed.

[Rolls]

Just send the oil sample off asap, might be fine.

Ok. Timing. Orange is 0 degrees? Then every mark is 5 degrees? I used the loop at the back of the coil pack loom.

My timing was sitting on the 5th mark so 25*btdc? I have adjusted it as far around as I could get it and it starts at 10dgrees and slowly works its way around to about 16/17dgrees. Is this ok?

[BOOZTJUNKEY]

Should be around the 15deg I think

If it were me I would want It bang on that I dunno if tha 2deg adv will cause detination

But if u had it set a 25 deg bftdc that defiantly would not of helped anything and would have no doubt been detonating or not far of it :-/

Also most of the RBs I have owned have usually have there cas set in the middle .

Only once have I had one set on max retard and that was when my cas was on its way out and started advancing the timing randomly hahhaha

Good luck buddy

It really sounds like something is off. If you are getting weird readings you really should use spark plug one as the base. The engine needs to be warm, idling at 650rpm then set to 15 degrees.

[lilcrash]

Yeah. I'm gonna make up a test lead and try it again. It doesn't seam right at all. It's running really well at the half way point where the old mark is. I just wanted to check

[SargeRX8]

It should always be close to the half way mark, really is no reason it should change...

[lilcrash]

ok its back at about half way, on the 3rd line on the harmonic balancer.

did a compression test, 191 170 170 170 170 170 , but bear in mind that i had spilled oil and the 1st cyl copped a lil bit of oil that i couldnt get out with my rag, il retest in a week or so after ive done the 1000km.

but ive noticed that my pcv seal is broken in half. so i need to find another one of those.

[Rolls]

You sending the oil off this week? It is important to get it tested, it can tell as much as a visual strip down inspection can.

[BOOZTJUNKEY]

Yeah definetly do this mate ^^^ I've worked to hard to take any chances
