Mark@Abbey m/s Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 It wont be the compression rings causing the hassle it will be the oil control rings worn out. Running de cats high lights the issue normally , if yur running CATS these stop you seeing the oil being burnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Hi guys compression test done 195 psi on all cylinders , any ideas what it should be? I did it myself with my mates kit, he said there's nothing wrong with that. When I took the spark plugs out I noticed one of them was wet so I'm hoping it's a dodgy plug. Going to change the oil and the one plug now as a matter of course. Your 195 psi is only the compression of the engine and has nothing to do with oil consumption. If you wish to carry out a compression check to establish if there is any bore or oil control ring issues then a wet check may help you pinpoint the problem. However it may be something other than worn oil control rings, perhaps valve stem oil seals. I would get a pair of cats back on it and slightly different oil viscosity and take it from there.

timmytuck Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 What's the pedal dance ? Engine lights still on do I need to take it to Nissan ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 What's the pedal dance ? Engine lights still on do I need to take it to Nissan ? look up ECU reset in the guides. You can reset the ecu using the pedals and some careful timing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmytuck Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Lights out, but the smoke is very visible worse than last week so rebuild its is. Can you do the rings from the bottom end on the zed ? If so any ideas how long it would take. I'm thinking of my options at the moment ,if the engines got to come out then I'm considering going all the way and having some turbos or a supercharger fitted.

timmytuck Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 I know its a long shot but could it be the pcv valve ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I know its a long shot but could it be the pcv valve ? A long shot, you would need an increase in crank case pressure to make constant blue smoke, you could try a catch can to see if it reduces it. but could end up covering up a more serious problem http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/small-oil-cat ... 2321c155a1 I installed mine when going SC, I used to get a small amount of blue smoke on cold startup but none when running the car hot or hard. After the catch can installation & a plenum clean I never have any blue smoke, just a little black (fuel) when near the limiter & 400 odd hp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 On a second thought the pcv valve is a one way valve, easy to check if it`s working, with the engine switched off just pull the pipe off (plenum end) & see if you can suck air through it...... If you can suck & not blow it`s working (insert pun here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmytuck Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Thanks Darren will have a look tonight. I have been looking at various sites on this problem and apparently Nissan have been replacing engines,and have recognised a problem with this engine from 2004 and 2006 ! On closer inspection ,and boy have I spent to much time looking at that exhaust the smoke appears to be more of a grey colour very heavy on start up but nearly goes after warmed up .

timmytuck Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 Ok ,started on engine today first question, and there will be many more do you have to take the front end off the car to get engine out ?I'm leaving the box in. I'm four hours in and don't seem to be getting very far, but I like a challenge. Happy christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 No you do not have to remove the front panel to remove the engine. However it is much easier to remove the front panel etc and remove the engine and gearbox as one with the loom all still attached to the engine by disconnecting the loom at the ECU and pulling it through. You also have the option of dropping the engine complete with the x/member and suspension. Good luck: Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmytuck Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 One more question before I go into the garage am I ok to disconnect the a/c lines from the pump without killing myself, I've never done an engine with air con before.
