hellppp pls!!

[Sam@xtreme]

Iv got a missifire!!

there is loads of smoke..

changed coils and spark plugs still there!!

number 2 plug is covered it oil and can see oil in the bore!!!

Headgasket??

Piston??


Cheers Sam

piston rings more likely... what's the oil consumption been like?

if the turbo was failing all your plugs would be oily

head gasket's proveable by draining the coolant & having a look at it (as well as mayonnaise spotting)

 

[Sam@xtreme]

to be honest it has been doin some oil but no smoke!!

3 plugs are dry! 1 is covered!

i take it that its running on 3 cylinders cos of the oil on the plug??

 

[m0rk]

probably.... if it's so oily it can't spark

 

[Sam@xtreme]

it started of with a missfire on boost..

how has it turned into piston rings????

LOL!

 

[m0rk]

I can't think of many ways of getting enough oil into just one cylinder if everything else is ok.....

 

[Sam@xtreme]

cheers for ur help anyways mate.. ill let u know

 

[Sam@xtreme]

it also shot the dipstick out!!!!

excess presure :S

 

[m0rk]

have you over filled the oil?

 

[Sam@xtreme]

Nope, checked it the night i drove it was fine

Faulty valve stem oil seal would also give a fouled plug over a period of time, but yours doesn't sound good.

I'd suggest getting it compression tested.

 

[Sam@xtreme]

i put brand new plugs in, run it for 15secs took plug 2 out and it was covered!

This is goin to be exspensive...

 

[m0rk]

whip the head off & have a look - that's the best way

it might be the cylinder had oil in it already, so a clean plug would just get coated
