supra87 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Ok so looks like my engine might need to be stripped as I've got a rattle going on that sounds like the crank bearings are shot. Now if this is the case I'll be replacing all the bearings in the bottom end and most likely replace the headgasket and piston rings while it's out so I've got a fresh engine .Now my question is I was planning to go na-t next year this is still out of my budget but do I buy a tt headgasket and have it fitted ready for the following year when I go the turbo route?.I know the compression will be altered but will I still be able to use it as normal with out causing it any issues.

supra87 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Ok thanks will I notice a decrease in power if I fit a tt gasket ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Probably unnoticeable, I'd be more worried about what the crank is like and where the shrapnel from the dead bearings has got to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra87 Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 Agreed that is the concerning part I'm hoping iv caught it in time before any serious damage has been done I've stoped the oil and inspected it there is a small about of metal particles in the oil no shards of metal tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
