Evening all.
Just changed my VVT tensioner gasket to cure my oil dribbling across my gearbox.
I found the culpret, The half Moon piece wasnt there.. Literally a hole straight into the head!
Has a few twitchy **** moments... I had to turn the engine over (by hand) with pressure off the tensioner to get enough slack on the chain the lift the tensioner.
Lost the front dowl.. luckily i found it on the floor and not in the engine lol.
Anyhow, Whats the best Cleaning product to remove the oil from my box?. Or would i be better getting it "Pro" steam cleaned?
Also, whilst i had the top end stripped off i thought i would check my EGT sensor to see if thats causing my exhaust blow... It was.
Not even finger tight, just flopping around in the hole.
The car seems to go like a rocket now.. it wasnt sluggish before but wow.
Why would this alter the preformance so much?
Cheers
Callum
