Nicely done. Welcome to the club.
Try as I have - still not a member...........just a matter of time though.:biggrin:
1BADDAM that just shows youre not running enough boost.remember lean is mean.besides how are you going to learn anything. if you you dont take it a part.and put it back togeather over and over again!
So much for needing new pistons and rebuild huh?
wish i could have just put head gaskets on
tta983 said:When It happened I thought it was the turbo. It idled good, but when you gave it rpm the engine would smoke something fierce. Lots of smoke out of exaust and the vent tube on the valve cover. Lost all its power. I never did get any water in the oil.
my built tta has already done this !What people don't realize is when you start having lots of base compression and the oil starts blowing out of the valve cover breather's, the headgaskets are bleeding lots of boost into the crankcase before they are totally blown. Of course, before the gaskets actually blow, people run out and get a "catch can" to collect the oil..... What they really need is to seal the dang engine's seals to keep the compression in the cylinders instead... My TTA was the World's worst for pushing the valve stem seals up off the guides which caused lots of base compression and smoking at an idle.
