Like super jamie said you can use 4AGE oil covers that are trick TRD ones. You can pick these up of Ebay for about $10 or so delivered to youre door i think it is a good investment and makes youre engine look just a bit Tuffer.

Only once he gets a 4K rocker cover.

Yep true , should make youre engine good and look tuff. I guess it is up to Brad to get one of yours or some well else's. The best thing is though no more oil spilling out, when it happens.

you probably overheated it and blew a piston...

(now you can't get the oily taste out of your mouth)

 

 

I didn't do anything of the kind.

And wtf?

joke......

usually you only have THAT much blowby after bloweing a piston.....

how is your pcv valve?

Brad yeah sorry if that didnt make sense it was just a joke like mikey said you only blow that much oil and shit out if a piston is damaged. :S

are you talking about the oil filler cap that goes on top of the k motor, if you are, how did you not know it had one, they are right on top of the motor... :S

 

Am i mistaken?....

Huh? ^^^ We have already stated that he did have one. Excessive blow by has since popped it off, and is probably laying in a gutter somewhere. Now he needs a replacement one.

The only way that he would have noticed it was missing, was if he popped the bonnet (which he has done).

I'm just failing to see your point. Thats all.

Yeah just to clear a few things up, I don't think no pcv valve is gone, it blows alot of blue smoke if that relates to anything, it needs new guides or something won't know until I pull it apart. Also I didn't realise it didn't have a cap when I popped the hood checking for oil levels/water etc.

 

Thanks for replies,

 

Brad

amuse me and do a compression test on each cylinder

i'll bet it either has a big 'ol chip missing from out of one (or more) piston(s)

or a hole in the middle of one (or more)

daisy has NO valve stem seals at all; i left them out on purpose. she uses NO oil, does not smoke at cruising speed or just putting around

but if you let her idle, she'll smoke like a bitch when you pull away.

and you get a puff when you start her after letting her sit 10 mins or so

Jamie when I bought the car August 2003, The guy said he did a compression test and said he was surprised with what he got, he said it had good compression. Now can it change that much in 2 years? Yes? No?

Yes. It all depends on how harder time you give it.

E.g. Thrashing it. Not servicing it. If its running lean or not.

Well I did a compression test, but i'm upstairs and too lazy to go in the garage and get it I will get it later.

 

Brad

Well here are the readings, not sure what the fire ordering is 1.3.4.2? But here they are starting from the back cylinder working my way towards the front of the car.

 

Number 1 had 140 PSI

Number 2 had 150 PSI

Number 3 had 130 PSI

Number 4 had 150 PSI

 

And they are supposed to be 170 PSI if I remember correctly out of the gregorys book.

 

I will tell you how much oil it uses in a week on Wednesday.

 

Cheers
