Re: Discovered Bore
I took the intake manifold to a perfomance shop today to have the injector
in question tested and the mechanic told me it's highly unlikely to be
cylinder wash. He looked at the intake manifold and saw oil in each
manifold "finger" (which I didn't see before) and when he opened the
throttle there was a pool of oil in the there. When I looked in the same
place when the intake was on the engine I didn't see a drop. I felt and ran
a q-tip inside the pcv valve hose and didn't come back with any oil stains.
I put my hand inside the filter hose which connects to the throttle body and
I didn't feel any oil there either. Of course, this was closer to when I
started this process and not in the later days. Could be it got worse in
the end or was pooled in the intake and didn't show up in the throttle body.
He told me Blow By was going on and I needed a new engine.
Is there anything else that could be going on as I'm getting ansy about
pulling this piston. Could there be some effect which is affecting only #2?
Should I have him test #2 injector anyway and see what he finds?
Thanks,
Bill

With your overbore, sounds like your current block is worn out. Blocks don't
last forever. If you try to re-ring just one piston and replace a few bearings
you are accomplishing nothing but a short-term band-aid. It's time to buy a
rebuilt motor.
Be sure to get it from a reputable company with a good warranty, even if it
costs a few dollars more. Otherwise, you are asking for heartache in the
future.

rebuilt motor.
Be sure to get it from a reputable company with a good warranty, even if it
costs a few dollars more. Otherwise, you are asking for heartache in the
future.

With your overbore, sounds like your current block is worn out. Blocks don't
last forever. If you try to re-ring just one piston and replace a few bearings
you are accomplishing nothing but a short-term band-aid. It's time to buy a
rebuilt motor.
