Hi each and all - it has been a while since I have posted, but I have now started to TRY to get my RR Sport back on the road and hopefully eliminate its seemingly endless problems - I have managed to completely solve the suspension problems - it needed a new Air Compressor, now on to the the Engine -
The engine smokes ( Blue Grey ) not on initial startup but as the engine starts to get warm, it clearly stinks of burning oil - and it gets worse the warmer it gets ( not ever really bad clouds ) - the milage is 94.000 - JLR SDD says there is a Turbo issue so am kind of leaning towards that - I have done a compression test and the results are as follows
DRIVERS SIDE
1 : 430 PSI
2 : 430 PSI
3 : 420 PSI
PASSENGER SIDE
1 : 440 PSI
2 : 430 PSI
3 : 430 PSI
This looks reasonably good to me what do you think - I have recently changed the oil and filter ( TOP STUFF USED ) and changed the fuel filter - plus cleaned all injector nozzles with vinegar and a ultrasonic cleaner - it starts literally first turn of the key ( much better than before ) ohh and I have also fitted a new waterpump, serpentine belt, pullys/tensioners ETC -
It seems a bit alien that it does not smoke when cold but when warming up - any thoughts?
Also does anyone have the Camshaft tolerances as I have a top end knock on the right bank that is definatly drivetrain related - any advice is both helpful and appreciated - many thanks, Darren.
