Lots of issues... pulled the engine to change some seals, timing belt. Had the turbo gone through and wound up with a bigger compressor wheel on the T3. Started the engine, ran rough but settled out. Went autocrossing the next day. After 3 runs major blowby issue. (I knew the engine was tired but didn't think it was THAT bad!)
Pulled engine, compression test shows 3 holes 410 - 420 lbs, one at 390. Broken ring maybe?
Pulled anoterh engine that had the timing jump (bent valves). Engine was put together with rings, bearings, head studs etc.
SO....
time to pull 2 apart and make one.
Just found out engine # 2's issue was the crank pulley. D shaped crank but bolt came loose. Looks like it machined the end of the crank in the process.... job just got a lot bigger. DAMN!
Anyone got a mechanical ALH for sale ? or a running AAZ I can pick up today?
