Winter upgrades equal death? Oil problem
Winter upgrades equal death? Oil problem
over the winter i changed
Turbo manifold
Shortend drain a hair modded fd upper intake to my s5 lower intake
Moddified intercooler pipes to fit and installed a resistor box for my two secondary injectors as there low imp
Now since the beging of the season my car has smoked on start up had weird idles and not shown blown control ring symptoms aka 4k rpm hold or smoke on decel, now after removing the uim this is what we find in the tb,
Note the turbo isnt blown no oil in any pipes or intercooler... Car didnt smoke at all last year before i put it away!
Ideas?
So i dissembled my short block
1 front cover oring gone in peices
2 seems all 8 oil control ring cases are all warn bad and should have been replaced dough!
Hind sight bite me in the *** and i guess storing my car over winter with oil that had gas in it was bad since my car is still untuned and ran rich asf so i guess itd all my fault

How thoroughly did you clean the UIM after modifying it? Dead oil rings is generally a sign of grit in the air going into the engine. Natural intake pulses will pump oil up into the manifold.
The only oring that died was the front cover oring, one to oilcooler so i dont think it was any grit in there since it shouldnt see anything from the combustion chamber etc cleaned it as best as we could sure small particals could have made it in but it was blown out witj compressed air and wet rags pushed threw and blown out again it did this right after first start up, after checking plates front and rear plates are way out of stepwear spec so thats a issue too, so replaced they will be ordered new everything and on the hunt for irons to get this thing back together

Sorry for miss communication, the oil control orings are fine its the oil control metal casings are trash they are warn way past there spec allowed step wear on combustion side on front and rear irons are double the max spec.
