ZD30 DI 2000 excessive blowby, performance 100%, no smoke, popped out injector seal
Hi all
I have had ZD30's for many years now and know a lot of their quirks and probs .. However after some advice on how to start on this.. This car has been used by us for the last 10 years and had a turbo replaced 3 years 80,000k ago has 244,000 on clock.
The good
No Smoke
No nasty noises
Engine is running as good as always (One of the nicest running ZD30's we have have)
Turbo spooling fine
No water use
Starts immediately
The bad
Popped out a injector seal and oil came out everywhere
I washed it down, pushed the seal back in with the help of a couple of spanners for leverage .. it went back in easy as and did not leak surprisingly however there is a lot of pressure coming out of the oil filler when engine running and cap off..
