JamieP Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Last weeks race with my mates motorbike has took its toll i think. It dont smoke at all and still sounds sweet but it breaths very heavy... i can half fill the catch can with oil in a good half hour tear up... What would cause this?... worn rings? New engine here i come:eyebrows: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New engine here i come:eyebrows: worn rings more than likley jamie.... dont let it get too worse, try to salvage the main block at least. if the ring or rings give up totaly while continuing driving on boost it might score the block bore when it does give up. re-sleeving wouldnt be a good option after that with a single turbo engine. main cause of it would be running lean and detonating. good luck. bijal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkirby Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Mine was chuffing through its breather like thomas the tank engine and when we opened it all up we had cracked 2 pistons, only slightly but enough to pressurise the crank but strangly not enough to let oil pass so it didnt spoke what so ever? but hey an excuse to say "but love it needs it :)" Good luck with the build Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
