Well after reading Jardo's thread about the Forge DV and that its prone to leaking boost i thought as mine had been on a while i would try the bubble test...
Basicaly i used a bike pump to preasurise the DV as instructed by Jardo... after just one pump there was bubbles leaking out of the bottom. Bad news...
So i stripped it down to check the insides.
This is what i was faced with...
Sorry for the quality... iphone
The ring at the bottom of the piston is clearly worn but could it be lapped out with grinding paste method,
There is next to no wear on the inside of the DV body,
the marks on the side of the piston... is this damage or how they come?
the spring looks a little battered? or is this fine and not something to worry about ?
Thanks for any help.
