Gtr Cylinder Problem

[binga85]

Had the car checked over by someone local as i didn't want to drive it far.

What i got back was the 6th cylinder on the rb26 was gone, that piston had melted

compression was somewhere in the vicinity of 150psi on first 5 and 30psi on the 6th

I need to put into an actual workshop where they deal with things like this.

anyone have any ideas or experienced this before..

bare in mind i've changed the plugs already and checked the coil packs. thanks

A location generally helps.

Well yeh i guess i wont until until its fully taken apart or some pro looks at it.

i got told that it may even be the bearings or rings...

so lets see how it goes.

if anyone has come across the same problem just pop me a message here so i can have better idea of the issue.

thanks

2nd hand motor, get Injectors flow tested, and get a tune

cheapest option is what jez said, but if you want to build a motor get it pulled out and send it to paul at red r in newcastle he did mine and it is giving me no hassles and he wont get you to buy things you dont need

just kep driving until it wont drive, then rebuild.

i had 150 on cyl 1,2,3,6.

had 100 on 4

and 50 on 5

for about 3 years.....

wasn't too bad.

but, if undriveable, go a second hand engine, maybe even a forged bottom end in the forsale thread?

^^^ Interesting....What was the cause?

When I rebuilt, it didn't look too bad.

Apparently, the cylinders had taper, so I'm putting it down to that.

Had a slight miss at idle.

A very slight vibration under load at LOW rpm.

But when you were up it, couldn't tell.

Luke was the crank I purchased off you from that engine?
