Sounds like a bargain.

lol I read your gay, what you want to look for lol

Not bad, but is not a Supe You got a new job lined up?

Just a quick question for you all. When I took out my spark clubs, I noticed there was a slight bit of oil around the thread of each of them. Is this normal, or could I have some sort of issue here? They wernt soaked or dripping in oil, I would say is was very small amount.

Nope im going to hire a crane from a local firm, there not to pricey - much cheaper than buying one!

An engine crane probably.

Hopefully it should do the job, and has been reccomended! Allows all round access to an engine, cylinder head or automatic transmission for major repairs and servicing when removed from the vehicle.

Cheers Darren, yeah their was a small amount right at the top, of the pipe, but nothing major and no signs of it having run down into the air filter. But this explains it! Cheers

Well as alot of you know by now, my car has been very poorly over the last 10 months or so, and rather than me woffle on whats wrong, here is the link to all my problems http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=139602 To sum it up, it looks like I may have a cracked piston head, possible seals gone, ring issues, fueling issues, oil leaks. And probably many other bits! I would just like to say thanks to everyone who has helped me answer a few of my questions so far in my other threads, they have all been useful. And believe me, over the next few months, there will be plenty more! Unfortunatly, because I have no money, and everyone wants around 2k plus for a new engine and fitting, I have decided to fix my own, therfore knowing, that with any luck (cross all fingers) I will have a strong reliable engine, and in the process I will have learnt plenty! Helping me do the work is my Dad, who has done lots of work on engines, unfortunatly not on Supras, but he seems confident! Also will probably be after help now and again from my good old trusty work colleuge Mike (haha) aka Pixelfll! And not forgetting everyone else on here, as I guarantee I will be looking for advise from everyone on here!!! Just something I have to bare in mind, the Previous owner had work caried out through MaxGT and here is a link to their site which has my car as one as their Project cars! http://maxgt.just2good.co.uk/dash.php (its over 3 pages) So, first things first, I wanted to confirm for myself what Hyper had told me, which was I had Low compression on Cylinder 3. They said that the rest were around 200psi and the 3rd was around 52psi. After performing the compression test myself the results are as follows - see post below.

Cheers, any techy people want to advise at all please

Thats the thing, I do loose a fair amount of oil. I think maybe some seals have gone and also I suspect I may have a cracked piston head. (see my other threads for futher details on my nightmare lol).

yes I have a HKS one if I remember correctly, and it is blowing oil out of it as well. However, I wouldnt really say that the dump valve is that close to the air filter. See pic

Ok guys, I have just done as Mike sugested above and blown through it with a high pressure air line. I was suprised at how much dirt came out, but what suprised me most is that the majority of it seemed to be greese/oil? To me, this was a bit of a worry, cos id of thought their would of been no oil at all. As its only sucking air in? Im thinking its running down the pipe but not sure where it will be initially coming from. Any ideas where it could be coming from, is this common, what could this mean?

Cheers Chris, yep ive got a copy of the manuals from off here! Just wasnt sure what could and couldnt be done.

Well it states in the manuals that I got of CJ, to perform a compression test I must first disconnect the Solenoid resistor sensor. In the manual, it does how ever show a picture of where it should be, but no such luck!
