MrR33SKI Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 You are correct to a certain extent. I only did the service there because i needed the rocker cover gaskets replaced and head cleaned and little things here and there. How much am i looking at for the piston rings to be replaced? Also would it be cheaper to just pop in a new engine. I can get a rb25det for 3k supply and fitted.

Marko R1 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 20yrs ago wow...has the engine been started in that period? If not, the engine will more than likely require a rebuild. Rings will be dry, valve stem seals dry and deteriorated etc. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/471966-need-help-losing-oil-but-no-oil-leak/page/2/#findComment-7849421 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrR33SKI Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Yeah everything went well, so my mechanic told me to rule out piston rings. He believes its the turbo because it has the tiniest bit of play. So HYPERGEAR R34 HIGHFLOW SHALL BE ORDERED Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/471966-need-help-losing-oil-but-no-oil-leak/page/2/#findComment-7849862 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Also possible oil is pressurized / making its way from breather/s into the throttle body and burning off there.
