If you are not willing to see how your spark plugs are burning, check/adj. your timing, pay attention to your air/fuel mixture, validate your fuel pressure and tune boost accordingly you should not be running a turbo.....before you put in your third motor I suggest you take an automotive repair class or buy yourself a few books... good luck son

BS comeon guys Scot has poped 2 motors by now :gay: but not in the same year geez. Yes slidin we where all new once but damn boy 95% or more of us read the faqs and spent a few hours reading everythread on the forum we thought looked interesting. This is simple but not fool proof or totally easy. You might be able to swing a wrench but i am thinking abit of patience and general attention to detail would go along way towards you not blowing your budget on motor builds every other month ya know ;)

Slidin'Miata916 10-20-2007 02:30 PM

Lol.
I have a short block and extra head in the garage with bad rings, i took it in and they said it could be honed.
so im looking for used pistins and new rings and just gonna put it all together and call it good.

Slidin'Miata916 10-20-2007 03:56 PM

Alright well...
I went and pulled my plugs and they were all corroded and rusty looking, and the tips were Black.
What would cause that? Ping? Detonation?
And i figured out where all the oil is comming from, its just gushing out from my fitting. Im not sure if my crank case was pressurized or not, but i think it was becuase there was oil by where the plug wires are, and the oil cap was loose, so i figured it was becuaes of bad rings.
Im gonna have to find a compression tester today to make sure.
I replaced the plugs with old ones i had, and it would rev up to like 4k before it wouild just stay there. Detonation? I dunno.

Slidin'Miata916 10-20-2007 04:14 PM

I replaced all of them but one with old plugs. and its shooting white smoke when i hit the throttle and hesitates at around 4k.
I NEED to compression test that shittttttt

Spend the money and get one more $1.50 plug for fucks sake.

Make sure your PCV valve is working if it's allowing boost into your crankcase you're going to continue having problems.

Slidin'Miata916 10-20-2007 04:45 PM

You mean where i can blow through one side but not the other right?

Slidin'Miata916 10-20-2007 04:47 PM

Pvc is coo.
and iw ould go get a plug but i cant right now, no ride..

Slidin'Miata916 10-20-2007 05:02 PM

and i let it idle, reved a little, and i pulled the plugs, and their all black...shit

cjernigan 10-20-2007 05:08 PM

Slidin'Miata916 10-20-2007 05:15 PM

Fuck.
I wish i knew what caused this so i can look out for it next time.

Savington 10-20-2007 10:52 PM

If I didn't want to see you get banned so badly, I would tell you to buy a fucking wideband, or mabye a Megasquirt to actually do it right this time. My shit just did its 7th and 8th track days and it's run 4000 miles in the last 3 months. Megasquirt, big injectors, wideband, professionally tuned.

Slidin'Miata916 10-20-2007 10:56 PM

Why should I get banned...
For asking questions?
For blowing motors out of stupidity?

zoom2zoom 10-21-2007 04:07 AM
