Oh also when driving or running if the engine is accelerated the oil light comes on and the buzzer goes off like a nut -
Hi guys I had a cracked block after cooking it when the serpentine belt went. After 4 rebuilds I got another engine. Rebuilt it and got it running only to be a new member to the red arrows with smoke pooring from the rear. Did new rings and shells and started it again to clouds and clouds of smoke But after a while it started to clear. I took it for a drive and it feels very retarded When I tried to time it up it had no notch on the pully wheel to denote tdc timing. How do I change the timing now it's retarded. I can't face removing the head again Please help

Moochalargo replied to Moochalargo's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
Ok this engine is dead!! Case must be cracked as loosing all oil in to water and it's now bursting hoses lol I've been and got another engine which I believe is ok but this engine is slightly different!! The cam cover is aluminium not plastic like mine. Also the exhaust manifolds have a metal hose that connects them and then seems to go to somewhere??? My car does not have this!!! What is it? -

Moochalargo replied to Moochalargo's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
Had the head pressure tested cold and hot and its fine!! this makes me think that the block must have a fault somewhere or the new oil cooler i purchased may be a dud!! either way ive got to get more head bolts and another head gasket. im going to try and bypass the oil cooler to eliminate that from the question! do any of you know of a good water treatment? ive had irontight mentioned and also steel seal ive been promissed is amazing! any other ideas as i really need the car working now! its been broken for almost 4 months!!! cheers guys -

No that's my next step. Get it crack tested!! Going to leave it for a bit as I'm just throwing money at it now and nothing is working. Could have r32'd it by now the money I've wasted!!! Can I reuse stretch bolts? I've purchased two sets now!!!???
