inside: minor carnage of my wonderful b18a.
 

finally took the block apart, and checked the pistons out. no real damage visible to the sleeves aside from scuffing.

so to recap:
250,000+km, 8psi, barely intercooled, 89 pump gas, 12.5-13afr.

enjoy.

Ouch, haha all 4 huh? Thats insane. I havn't seen more than 1-2 go at a time.

:-X That just about blows, haha

Re: inside: minor carnage of my wonderful b18a.
 

still, the strange thing is that only one cylinder lost all compression. the rest were all fine. (180-180-0-178 or something like that)

Re: inside: minor carnage of my wonderful b18a.
 

Yeah thats a wierd one. You must have been getting some smoke or blowby.

Re: inside: minor carnage of my wonderful b18a.
 

Damn atleast you didn't do it half assed.

Re: inside: minor carnage of my wonderful b18a.
 

probably lots of smoke... I think I had a headgasket issue too, even though it looked fine. lots of white smoke, but only occasionally.

blowby was extreme out of the valve cover..

don't know if I was smoking hard or anything... I'll get a picture of the downpipe so you'll know what I'm talking about.

Geez...I wonder if mine will look like that when I take my block apart :-\

Re: inside: minor carnage of my wonderful b18a.
