Sounds like a blown apex seal, have you done a compression test?

dm22508 08-10-08 05:44 PM

How did you survive carbon lock?

maybe it was a broken seal and not carbon, and the seal was jamming hte engine before and now its just gone.

dm22508 08-11-08 05:51 AM

well im not entirely sure a blown seal would have been cleared up by just using wd40. anyway... found a gifuckingnormous vacuum leak and now it idles since i fixed it. still have zero power. thought it was just old gas and burned it all out, to no avail.

dm22508 08-12-08 02:19 PM

yep still no progress. my friend says he thinks it might be clogged fuel injectors, i hope, but i think im gonna need a new oil pump/ opsu.

oh well i thought i had blown my motor and was about to replace the engine... when i took the manifold off and sprayed and entire can of wd40 into the intake. turned over just fine after that.

well atleast no disaster

Have you checked your compression at all?

katkaroto 08-12-08 02:56 PM

your oil injectors are probably clogged or something.. run premix

dm22508 08-25-08 10:07 PM

good idea.. results later.
