hi guys an girls.... so i have a rb25det non neo that is leaking air like a sift from number 5 cyl/chamber. its coming from inside the head behind like the cams an sprigs at first thought it was leaking out a valve so checked that they were closing properly an they seam allgood double checked the valves were not opened by the cams or anything silly . so could there be a crack anywhere in that chamber that is not visable to the eye but big enough to leak alot of air

has anyone else had some thing like this happen. there is no visual damage. but for the amount of air escaping you would defenitly think there would be a big hole somwhere. the only way it could be coming out where it is is if the valve was open an the air would pass by the stem seal which i wouldnt it would go rite out the port that was open... so valves are 100%closed. ill have to just get it looked at down at the shop. will let yous no how it goes

If you 100% know there is air coming out of the cam cover or crankcase then yeah it could be a hairline crack anywhere on the top end. if you cant afford to replace the whole thing you could add smoke to your intake to trace the leak then just replace the part that's leaking. you never know if could just be a valve? just make sure you clean it up properly afterwards

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
