    Corsa piston build with throttle bodies

    Just been doing some reading......... Possible scenario..... What if the engine was running super lean, causing temps to rise high........could this affect ring tension? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What can I do then? Swap the pistons about, new rings? .........crush into a expensive paperweight ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thought beings I’ve used a cga3de this time, it’ll be ok, it’s only 0.5mm Would of thought I’d if done the gasket or rings before the liners gave out Il take a look once it’s in pieces again Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    After 15 miles [emoji50][emoji53] Hope not, what’s symptoms would I get with that? All I’ve got so far is low compression and smoke from the breathers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Had a spare hour today. With old stuff I had: Cylinder 1- 5 bar Cylinder 2/3/4 - 7 bar Tried a new head ....... Same results [emoji848] Pulled out piston 1.......rings intact, bores look fine, hone marks still there,no signs of damage Gunna pull engine apart, rebuild, start again Sent...

    Corsa piston build with throttle bodies

    Had a quick go before work. All cylinders went to 7bar Put a smidge of oil down there, and went right up Cylinder 1- 10bar 2-3-4 - 12bar What does this mean then? Cylinder 1 is trashed. Or is it because I’ve only done 15miles on this fresh pistons/rings Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Had a closer look at the head and plate today I can see sort of faint ‘blast’ marks coming from the combustion chamber parts I’ve cleaned up and re-sealed and put it all back together, Hope get to comp test tomorrow, got called out so couldn’t try today Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2 gaskets ain’t enough to bring the cr down. That’s why I git the plate [emoji53] You think if I rebuilt it with a new head gasket and resealed the plate then over over torque it, it’ll at least let me do a comp test again Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
