Not sure to be honest Geff phoned me today. Goin down to see him tommorrow, so he can depress me in person.
lol
Damn Jay, sorry to hear about the engine :(
I\'ll make you a brew tomorrow morning to try to cheer you up :)
mine threw 2 tips and needed a housing as well last year
just noticed u were still on orig engine at about 45k..prob going single hasnt helped.as soon as u start pushing it and the engine is a bit tired i think sooner or later something will give..mine seemed to be related to split vac hose feeding the fpr and slow flowing secondary injector..havnt even run mine in again really yet and have had it back a several months if it ever goes again i think i will seriously look at ls1/t56 combo from the good ol usa.there is a guy running a 6.3l one at rotorstock.bulletproof and 400bhp/and ft torque from near as standard
Oh no! Really sorry to hear your bad news Jay, If only it had happend after D1 and RS3. :( Still I\'ll see you on Sunday at Rockingham, what time will you be leaving to get there for?
I\'m goin up tommorrow. Practice on Sat.
Jay
On Sat? You on the trackday that day, whereabouts you staying a local hotel?? That could be a plan instead of getting up at 5am!
Not runnin unfortunately. I will be either on the flag or on the start line. Stayin local but dont know the name as Glen books it all for us mate.
Jay
sorry to jump in on an old thread guys but i\'m just wondering what exactly are the symptoms of the engine throwing a tip or seals going??
I have heard difficult starting is one which i am kinda suffering in my car at the moment......if i leave her for a few days and go to start it, it churs for maybe 6-10 secs until i push the gas pedal a bit then fires up......when i\'ve driven a bit it seems to start first turn of the key thereafter???
Am i just being paranoid or is there an explaination? No signs of water loss or anything else evident either......also on different note when is best time/conditions to check the oil level?
Chris
Check oil often
...and water.
Doesn\'t sound liek either tips or coolant seals. Maybe plugs. when was the last time you checked your spark plugs?
Yeh, I\'d say get it serviced... maybe while its there get a Compression test done for peice of mind.
just thinking it may have been plugs, but not being to up 2 speed on rotaries i wasnt sure how often they need done. i service it every 2000 miles at max and regularly top up oil. coolant was flushed and refilled last month and hasnt moved a jiffy!!
What i meant by checking oil was do i run her for 5 mins then check the dipstick or test it from cold??
Anyone any idea on plug numbers/prices as a guestimate?
I usaly check it from cold but just so i know all the oil\'s drained back into the sump, But i guess if you leave it for 5-10 mins hot or cold don\'t realy matter.
