Lately i've noticed my ti has been down on power. I have had to give it more gas then usual just to get it up to speed and can't just give it partial throttle to cruise. I decided to do a compression check since I read you should do it after you over heat your engine, as mine overheated after breaking the waterpump belt. I knew things weren't good when I pulled the plug wires and there was oil at the end of #2. As I suspected there was oil in the threads and the electrode on #2 cylinder was dark black from burnt oil. I continued to check the compression on all cylinder; #1 was 180 psi, #2 was 165 psi, #3 was 150 psi, and #4 was 150 psi. My guess is its either the head gasket or a piston ring. what do you guys think? | | | 05-17-2006, 05:15 AM | #2 | Junior Member Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Portland, OR Posts: 17 | I had the same thing with the #2, I replaced the head gasket and I still have oil in the #2, I hoping that would fix it but I knew the chances were slim. So I would says its your piston ring. __________________ 95 Ti - Mods: Moss. Turbo, BMP AFPR, Bava F&R Camber Kit, SuperSrint Exhaust, Bilstein Sports, Bava Sport Springs, Bava 8mm Per.

Really difficult to say for sure what's going on without opening up the engine, but I'd also guess you fried things pretty good without any water in there. __________________ Andy Chittum - Mad Man Motorsports | | | 05-18-2006, 10:27 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: PA Posts: 822 | Quote: Originally Posted by eurowerkz i had oil in my cylinder also so i bought a new head gasket and spark plug gaskets i think...............it was so long ago......the guy who had my car before me cross threaded the sparkplug and it shot out the motor | The same thing happened to me.

This may cure your problem with the oil in the spark plug hole. Clean off the plugs, check/clean the injectors and lastly, run an injector cleaner or even seafoam. The compression check being higher on #2 than #3 and #4 in encouraging. This fix will cost less than 50 bucks if you do it yourself. I would definitely do this before removing the head. | | | 05-27-2006, 04:22 PM | #7 | Member Join Date: Mar 2006 Posts: 45 | yea mine shoot out twice...and the second time i was on a date....=( messed everything up i didnt get laid hahaha | | | 05-28-2006, 07:56 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Utah Posts: 100 | Quote: Originally Posted by dave45056 Andrew, I would try replacing the valve cover gasket including the ones that go around the spark plug holes.

If it is something bigger I may just find out the exact problem and sell it as-is with the problem because i'm moving to Germany for a couple years in July. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Thread Tools | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
