hi can anyone help???

[Muzz]

so you have just fitted a new turbo and the noise has started since then??

Don't know sod all about engines could it be something related??

 

[wellzy]

i don't know if you have ever heard the term "piston slap"?

how good are you with mechanics?

definately not the turbo, i'm sure of that, its been running fine on that since fitted.

hi i'm in the trade, and i do believe piston slap occurs more when its cold opposed to when it's hot. obviously everything expands under heat which minimizes any piston slap.
i cant say what its like when it's cold yet as the problem occured when it was at normal running temperature. i'm off out this morning to investigate further in to the problem.

hi going back to that, i would think piston slap would occur over a long period of time, where as this happened instantly as if something broke. you see i was on the way back from mot station was doing 60mph, and had done 10miles trouble free prior to this.(it's 30 miles to mot station each way) it got there fine, and almost halfway back before anything happened.

don't know how complex the oilways are on this engine, but it could be just, say, one tappet or component starved of oil because of a blockage which might not be sufficient to affect overall pressure/circulation - did'nt leave your toolbox in there when you fitted the turbo did you?

hi, i would be nice to think that-but i very much doubt it.

hi guys, the engine is now dead, barely turns over, so im guessing something siezing up, may well have been blocked oil ways originally, but whatever it is, it's certainly killed it now.
cheers for everyones interest.
this one was obviously a bad one!!!
