No stu i was saying that ND suplied all the parts the car has on/in it.

I am not fussed on the fmic and chip its got from them though

Cars booked in at tweeks next monday for wheel aligment ready for the 24th

Does tweeks have a rr and do they do diagnostics? Ive found a place in wrexham i was going to go to but if tweeks do it....

Not sure to be honest matey best to give them a call.

I have a mate who works there i'll text and ask him on tuesday if i remember

Well been having a acouple of running problems and with the fact just dont know enough about fixing oily bits on my car its starting to really piss me off.

My car was ment to be going to tweeks Monday so i could have the aligment done ready for the bdc licence day on the 24th but that been shelved as i cant find/fix the problem.

The cars killing plugs and there is alot of oil on them aswell. The cars starting to sound like a scooby with little to now power when trying to drive it.







I have cleaned the plugs up and its just done it stright away also. Will try again monday and change everything over airflow meter coilpacks and i have some denso plugs there only svk20rz8 will these be ok to use on the car its stage 2 ish.

Also took the manifold off again and fitted it better done think its leaking now (could this have fouled the plugs and caused my problem)





Fingers crossed its sorted soon guess its helping me learn abit more pitty i hate working on cars would rather just skid it and have sombody fix it but thats just lazy.

Could this be that your Piston Rings or Cylinder walls are badly worn ??

Or even leaking valve guide seals.

How many miles has the engine done??

8k since the rebuild

Hopefully then, its just the engine still being run in, but at 8k, Id have thought it would have done that already.

I cant help any more sorry, Stuy or someone might be able to. If not, then best get someone in to have a look over

Is the oil coming from inside the cylinder or from the rocker cover? If its leaking from the rocker cover and running down the plug holes - as you losen the plug the oil will run down the thread making it look like the oil has coated the plug from inside the cylinder.

If its coming from the rocker cover and running in to the plug holes it will just be effecting the contact between coilpack and spark plug causing a weak spark / misfire and loss of power.

If its coming from inside the cylinder chamber (shine a torch down the plug hole and see if the top of the piston is wet) it could be piston rings, or valve stem seals - though these normally go gradually and you will have noticed smoke (blue and burning oil) and it would be smoking hugely when running judging by the amount of oil on the plug.

Judging by the oil above the thread on the plug and inside the head bolt (how could it get there if it was leaking from inside the chamber) Id guess its leaking from the rocker cover and spoiling the coilpack / spark plug contact.

I agree with stuy, looking at the ammount of oil on the plug I am suprised their is still any in the engine. Usually any small quantity of oil would just burn of, looking at the wetness of them it would have to be something serious which I dont think as it is running. If I was to put money down I would go with the gasket theory with stuy. Let us know how ya get on

Cheers peps will look into it more tomra

Well after changing the plugs twice two 10 different coil and a coil lead the problem came own to being a bad connection with the plug to injector number 4 big thanks to chris or helping me out with this had us stumped for a while (more me cos i am thick with engines)

Now the car runs great just need to put a new rocker cover gasket on just a pitty it wasnt before today as i missed out on going to demon tweeks.

ah well, tweeks is only a short drive away. hope you have no more small issues$ and that all runs smoothly from now on. You got anything else planned???

Ran out of cash at the moment.

BUT

still need to get 300zx rear disks so i can get the wand hooked up.

then its mot time again the end of march so fook knows what i will be paying for
