Title: Turns out it was water seals!
Post by: Lum on March 03, 2007, 11:05:44 AM
Posted a while ago about loosing water and coolant buzzer going off! After loads of advise from people on here i thought i\'d sorted it with a new AST cap.
This only fixed it for about 3 weeks! After trying to convince myself otherwise i finally admitted it was probably water seals and decided to pull the engine out!
Well just got it all apart with the help of davehg and it was water seal failure! tiny gap in the seal on the rear rotor! Almost a relief that i hadn\'t stripped the engine for no reason :2eek
Also found thay 1 of my oil control ring springs was in the wrong way round :3Confused  looks like the engine has been rebuilt previously after all! More than likely in japan! Anybody else come accross anything like this when stripping there engine?
Just gotta remember how it all goes back together now..... Oh yeah and fit my single turbo,FMIC, new injectors, fuel pump and hopefully water inj! :D
Well it would be rude not to take the oppertunity for a little more power!

Havn\'t got that yet mate! Everything else is sat in my spare room awaiting the return of the engine! Not entirely sure whether to run WI or not?
Any ideas for a decent system?
