Ay can you stick a manual oil pressure gauge inline to the turbo.
Also how could the catch can cause issues? It just filters air I thought?
I'd be suspect of the turbo mate.
Pull it and check it out. Last thing you want is to have it blow and send shards threw the engine...
Unfortunately it's the classic poor man pays twice. Take it to the specialist and get them to check it out. Spend a little now to ensure less down the track..
Everytime I woke last night I thought about unblocking oil galleries... just been looking at this diagram again and going off what Matty said the other day and trying to make sense of it..
The pressure reg valve looked ok when I cleaned it yesterday but there was a bit of gunk in there and very small wear marks on the cylinder.
Still not sure of what I am doing and I have just been told that Alexander is crying because he does not want to be stuck at home again while I work on the car.... I cant bloody win.
I will see if I can get even 10 min outside to work on the car before he gets upset at me???
Stick him in the car mate. Without the keys.
Sophia love it when I'm working on the patrol and just watches.
Flicks every bloody switch but still has fun.
Ok managed 30 min and this is what I have managed... as Matty advised me to blow air from the cooler side but cannot get a good seal so went around to the alternator side where I managed a solid seal and after a bit of stuffing around can hear air going to the gallery where the pressure valve feeds the the alternator..
I managed to thread the air gun in a few turns so I could try and fell where the air was going to and go a decent amount of air coming through but not what I would say blasting out.
So I still fell a bit like I am fumbling about?
I have also poked some brushcutter cord in to see how far it will travel and at best manage 15cm before it hits what feels to be a dead end but is likely a sharp turn and cannot negotiate?
I also put the car in 5th gear and moved the car so as to turn the engine a bit and am not sure if this helps or makes a difference.
I have to go off to run some errands and will be near Nissan to order a new oil cooler gasket and O'rings.
I think I have an oil cooler from the black top in my garage your welcome to try. If its the same as yours. ..
I have been past JPC again and had a look at an engine block and from what I can figure the oil feed from the turbo comes from the oil pump and the feed for the alternator comes from the oil filter/cooler housing.
Is there a product or can I use diesel to flush out the engine???
Just wondering also what the oil pump set up is like????
I guess I am going to become an expert at this shit also.
