70845, Another 420a down the drain Posted by TapRooT, May-12-04 10:07 AM Well as you all know if you've read my past posts the car has been acting really weird. And I did a compression test and it was fine. But yesterday I was driving barely got into boost and a gigantic cloud of smoke shoots out... HUGE And I stop to see what its doing. And clouds of white smoke pouring out of my exhaust so I know something is definately wrong... So today I did a compression test 2 days ago it was 180 across the board today it was 80-184-179-120 so something is definately wrong. Any input? | |

70847, RE: Another 420a down the drain Posted by turbo8u, May-12-04 10:10 AM might be the HG if white smoke is coming out, thats coolant. | |

70848, RE: Another 420a down the drain Posted by DR1665, May-12-04 10:14 AM You blew the welds on the intake manifold imo. Sounds like HG or rings to me. Time for a rebuild. No sweat bro! :thumbsup | |

70850, RE: Another 420a down the drain Posted by TapRooT, May-12-04 10:30 AM Lately it has had excess amounts of smoke coming out of the exhaust. But before today the compression #'s were fine with all the smoke coming out. But today I found out they weren't fine in #1 and #4 so I guess it's time to take a loan out for a rebuild :( | |

70852, RE: Another 420a down the drain Posted by customrsturbo, May-12-04 10:46 AM Sounds like piston ring lands. Did you ever had detonation indications? What are the condition of the spark plugs? By looking at them you can get an idea of how the engine was running(lean or rich). | |

70853, RE: Another 420a down the drain Posted by TapRooT, May-12-04 10:56 AM Engine was running extremely rich. Right now I have 30 lb injectors in with the 12:1 disc because I'm waiting for my new disc to come in. So there should have been no detonation, I guess just 10 psi for too long and it just couldn't take it. The spark plugs had alot of carbon on them showing rich conditions. | |

70854, RE: Another 420a down the drain Posted by tim97rs, May-12-04 11:03 AM 10psi would do it! | |

70855, RE: Another 420a down the drain Posted by Ryan_Hes, May-12-04 11:08 AM 10 psi....it can only take it for so long... | |
