Hey Guys,
From northern NSW, but living in Beenleigh QLD.

Work oversea's so don't get much internet time, just got home on break and engine is playing up bad, blowing alot of blue/white smoke at cold start up and takes a fair bit of cranking to get started, got the engine compression tested today by someone local as i don't have the gear to do that on small engines, got a reading of 0psi on cyl 1, and only 150psi on cylinder 2, 3&4 were both 400psi and he didnt even bother checking 5&6, stealing a gauge off another mechanic shop tomorrow and will check myself, not a good sign.

Have done a few things to it that i got hints from on here, blanked EGR, removed butterfly and re-ran PCV hose down along side of engine to atmosphere and blocked off inlet end, i realise alot of you run filters or catch cans, but other then stopping a few drips of oil on your carport I just don't see the value in them.

Will let you all know how I go with the engine drama, but looks like I may be removing the cylinder head tomorrow :furious:

Cheers,
Shaun...

Hey Shaun, You did use a Diesel Compression Testor didn't you? I think you'd know that being a diesel fitter. Beenleigh isn't a bad place to live. How about catchin up for a beer.
