Can you not see how the valves are different than the other cylinders? They are coated and crusted in burnt oil and coolant![/quote]
I saw the crust buildup but i thought it happened over a very short period of time which is something I haven`t seen before - do you think the buildup is because of coolant and oil - the car must have been smoking etc. for a while to build up like that???
As for the enginebay - here is a pic of mine with my engine out at the moment.......I`d say almost half the amount of pipes and wires - do we here is SA get our cars with only HALF the parts installed LOL????

Hahah it does look alot more empty than mine .
That buildup on the valves didn't happen over night................. I first noticed a bit of oil smoke a couple months ago, but didn't really think anything of it.

The build up looks bad - when you did the motor first did you redo it completely i.e. head, rings, bearings etc, or did you just buy a complete motor without opening it up and popped it into the car???

OK so now I understand - the build up could have been there(started) even before you turboed your car. Hope you had a good look at the valves on the new motor????

Yup everything seems ok with the new motor... good compression, no burning oil or coolant, plugs are clean so far.Nubaroo wrote:OK so now I understand - the build up could have been there(started) even before you turboed your car. Hope you had a good look at the valves on the new motor????

I was bored and it was a nice day outside, so I finally threw on the stickers that Garrett included with my clutch kit.
Which one is better? Any suggestions?

Yah that does look good. I'll have a look on ebay for some if they're so cheap.
