left the engine running for a while (maybe 20 minutes or so) to test the aux-air valve (which seems to be broken, doesn't close completely) and once the engine was hot, it started to spit oil out of the exhaust.
little spreckles on the floor. quite a few. what's wrong ??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) i know the valves need adjustement badly. could that be it? Andy |

QUOTE(Anton @ Jul 7 2003, 07:40 AM) If it are the piston rings you would have a very bad compression as well. So, is the engine running badly? Strange that it happens on both sides of the engine as the Monza has two mufflers (as my memory serves me correctly). nope, engine is running fine. (not that i have another 1.8 to compare to) ... monza exhaust has the exhaust pipes go into ONE before it splits again into the 2 mufflers. (hard to see, cause it's where it has the steel plates welded on top to support the weight) ok, so it looks like "go for a long drive, get the engine really hot, and see what happens" ??? humpf, guess i have to put those doors on first (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Andy |
