ok, i try to start my car, and it won't start, it is also spilling oil all over my drive way and it reeks with raw gas, it won't even start to turn over. i just baught it, it's a 87 tII with 133,000 miles on it, the person who owned it died in a car crash and the car has been setting in the weeds for about a year, i have driven it around a little but not much and it ran pretty good, not nearly as good as my brothers car, who has a motor with about 30,000 mles on it, but it ran non-the-less. i had just gotten the oil changed with 20w-50 and it drove home fine, (it was like the 5th time i drove it) and i got home fine, then the next day it was leaking oil and doing everything as described above.... did i crack a rotor housing, or blow a apex seal?????

 

well you might have cracked a dowl pin, or a rotor housing, but You would not be spewing oil from a blown apex seal, Sounds like rebuild/motor swap time to me,


p.s. Its Bought!

check the oil cooler lines they might be leaking
as far as not starting it might be flooded when u crank it over does the exhaust reek the gas??? if so then it's flooded. do a search there r several was to unflood it

ya, i think it is flooded, that must be whats causing the nice gas aroma, i pulled the spark plugs and the leadings looked almost fouled out so i swaped them with the trailings wich looked pretty good, as for the oil it lookes like it's comming from the left side near the turbo, i think i might have just blown a oil feed line on the turbo, last time i drove it a decided to go ahead and give it a little gas and wound it out to about 5 1/2 rpm or so, i don't know because my tac doesn't work so i think thats when the turbo might have went, or soon after i pulled into my drive way.... o ya, chris, heres my center consol pics

 

and heres what iv done so far, i should have just glued it in place, the screws ended up looking gay, it's a hella lot louder with my exhause leak and just a thin peace of 22 guage aluminum between me and the bottom of the car, heh

 

ok, well, it started after swaping the plugs and cleaning off the second ones, it puffed out alot of white smoke for a little while then quit, i let it run for a second and then turned it off, when it was running it was making a puffing noize from the turbo and when i turned it off there was smoke comming from the turbo... so is the turbo for shure gone????

 

Try an dmake your pictures a .jpeg or .gif format, for easier viewing, the color there makes it look like crap on my comp, maybe it's just me?

 

nope me too. try spinning the compressor wheel. It should spin freely, if not then it's shot. some free play but not a whole lot. also take out the plugs and add some ATF to each spark plug hole and let it sit for several hours and then crank it over. it should help with the flooding issue.

 

ok, i'll try that tomarrow, o ya, i can't save the pic in any other format because i am on the old 98 with nothing but paint.

 

Damn sorry to hear that ted. Well ill be down soon, and ill help ya.
