Morning all, a lot has gone on recently so will start at the bottom.
3months ago I had access to my garage engine crane so decided to get the engine out as I had oil leaks, slipping clutch and needed to do the cam belt.
Engine out, cam belt, head gasket and clutch all kits replaced and so perished hoses.
All back in and seemed well until a month ago when the turbo gave up.
No boost, about 10mm play in and out in the shaft.
New turbo fitted two weeks ago.
Again seemed fine, one issue though, over boosting. I was at 20-25psi now it was going off the clock I'd say 30-35psi.
I knew this was a bit much so drove it softly until found out how to sort it.
Yesterday morning car wouldn't start, came back to it few hours later and got it started to realise it's tappy and on the dip stick there is evidence of water in the oil.
So no overheating meaning the boost has blown the gasket?
Apologies on the essay, but the car has had a lot of work recently but am I assuming the right outcome?
Compression test shows equal reading.
Head should be off by this evening soon as I find the head bolt tool a day re learn the timeing process.
