I don't get the ratio lol not really done this before
Jimbobs Lexus IS200 Turbo! - Jimbob-T-Lex - 06-04-2021
so basically all my pistons rings are shall we say ******!!! then as im getting the impression that 150 is a minimum and should be at 180 PSI??
Jimbobs Lexus IS200 Turbo! - Sparkystav - 06-04-2021
Doesnt have to be 180 mate as long as they're similar.
Not sure how rings would go so quickly?!
Jimbobs Lexus IS200 Turbo! - Jimbob-T-Lex - 06-04-2021
Thats what i thought mate but im still getting smoke from my breather and dip stick so that indicates a blow through! was not sure if maybe my timing was out but i checked that god knows how many times lol
Jimbobs Lexus IS200 Turbo! - Jimbob-T-Lex - 06-04-2021
ill do a wet test and see what happens to the compression i guess try and pin point the problem
Jimbobs Lexus IS200 Turbo! - Jimbob-T-Lex - 06-04-2021
wet test results:
Cylinder 1. 156
Cylinder 2. 148
Cylinder 3. 150

Is this due to using the ring you did or another reason? What is the solution otherwise?

Right this morning i noticed that there was water from the exhaust so checked my coolant and she is low so could be head gasket is letting water into cylinder
My oil is good no milkyness which is good
My thinking is if water got into my cylinder could this of done my rings in so that i would get blow by as i get smoke from the dipstick?
So basically what im thinking is the whole lot has got to be stripped right down and the head gasket has to be replaced, rings need replacing the worst outcome it could of ever been!!!:Chair:
All i all 4 steps forward 48 back
Oh and to top it off the alternator has give up this morning volts just drop off and she dies lol when it rains it pours!!!
