think i've finally broke it =)
 

think i've hurt the old girl!
was playin with a calibre down the dual carriage way tonight and after bout 3 miles of sittin at 5800rpm with me foot to the floor, a fooked fuel pump, 14psi boost and an oil pressure problem she made a few poppin noises, spluttered alot, smoked even worse than normal and started missin big time!
still kept in front for another half mile before me slip road though :D
Will see if it'll make it to work tomorrow and see damage i've done!
might just be head gasket or melted plug but we shall see

Hopefully its just a plug, but this has happened to a few people in the past and has led to some worse damage. You would know about it though they're undriveable

i've got a good spare engine anyway so its not the end of the world!
had planned on takin it of the road when the tax runs out end of the month to do all the work on it anyway! just might be startin on it sooner than i thought!

bugger.
good luck

yep its melted the spark plug!!!!!!!!!!!:D


oh yeah and number 4 piston :rolleyes:

Melted plug
 

:D :D least you've made a good job of breaking it lol, same thing i did a few years ago now it was when i had me mk1 s12:D :D

i take it with new plug in it still dont run so good then :( thats a pain in the butt tbh, have you got intercooler on it???

yeah got a nice size front mount! think its coz the fuel pump is shagged so leans out big time!

:(
