Yeh it was smoking a bit out the filler cap

No I haven't and it sounds stupid that I haven't, but I thought it was the turbo so I stripped the exhaust manifold off then found the oil in the ports. So I when straight to stripping the head with out thinking

Not that I can see, the weird thing is every exhaust port is ****ing oil

Lol that's fine, might try changing the head

Yeh it's the right head gasket. I'm not even sure that the oil is getting into the cylinders at all, when I took the head off the second time (new pistons already in) there was no oil on the pistons. It has got to be something to do with the head. I have changed the valve oil seals like...

This problem is braking me now, I have spent all week stripping and rebuilding the engine to find its still ****ing oil. I am completely drained and feel like I am running out of options quickly. If I can't find the problem out this weekend then it's either engine swap (completely skint now...

Once deglazed those scores weren't there anymore. I have changed the pistons and rings. It was still trickling oil out of the exhaust ports. Took the head off and there was no oil in the bores or on top of the pistons. So I changed all the valves and stem seals. Just started it up and it's...

No longer needed

I will say 'don't let your child run in front of cars'. If second hand brake calipers pass the rolling road brake test and then a child runs out in front of me, then who is to blame? The brakes would be completely legal as the would have been tested on the mot and i dont drive like a...

I don't go fast enough to need brakes lol. I don't want to be paying out for a new set of callipers as I have just had to get a new prop and 4 new pistons. This month is going to be pretty tight

Bump

Should I replace pistons aswel as rings?

Been there my friend lol. Mine was stuck in for a week before I decide that I needed to seek medical attention. Got to the eye department and the specialist said it had gone rusty!! Had to have my eyeball polished lol. I couldn't see anything stuck in my eye because I have dark brow eyes

I think that's due to the mud they got put in with in the bin then later on I decided to take them out and get a pic. They wasn't that colour when they were taken off. I suppose that picture is a bit unfair really lol

Nope, That is all road miles and the front set? which are a different make have been in for a few months longer and are fine. I have had a wide yoke Britpart prop shaft for the past 2 years fitted and that has been fine to be fair

set of Britpart wheel bearings. Done just over 2k with them. Shocking isn't it lol

Do you think that I'm going to need over size pistons with a gap that big?

What's the fire ring? There was a lot of oil on the head where the pistons meet and there is a visible gap between the pistons and the bore
