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 |

QUOTE(jim9146 @ Jul 7 2003, 08:14 AM) Sure looks like dirty water to me. I have puddles from a bad main seal and they don't look like that. btw. those pictures are not mine, they're thesey914's .... i have way more oil on the ground than that. i'll be back sat., so i suppose i could take some pix then.

Drive it. Its crap from the muffler. If there was an issue.. it would be smoking. The car runs really strong (like I think its a 1911)..

Still, I agree with Andy that it is not normal. My muffler doesn't crap either... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pain30.gif)
The exhaust valve guides remain suspect, but as long as the engine runs well and the car isn't parked on the front lane of your mother in law things should go fine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) On second thought, perhaps you should visit your parents in law (depends on the relationship). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
