I went to do my manifold swap and LIM cleaning and got a nasty little surprise.
on the front right hand cyclinder (facing the motor from front of car). there was oil residue in the LIM and UIM. I also noted an oil coating on the PCV value.
Any suggestions? The car had been run about an hour before the rip down started. It sat yesterday, but I drove it friday, saturday, sunday. Its kinda hard to guess how long the film has been in the intake.
Other notables:
-The temp guage became stuck in november. Motor is not over heating. Pretty sure the sending unit just pooped. Its on the list of things to do this week.
-Oil is Mobile1 5000 which was topped up to 5 3/4to 6 quarts last change @ a little past 75K. Milage is 77733 (not kidding). Oil looks fine and unburnt. But Is a year old. (I hit 75K novment last year, changed oil over christmas)
-I drove about an hour each way to my internship last Tuesday.
Car does not have oil burn indications ei black/blue hue smoke. But with 3 cats, how can you tell? lol
Any suggestions, besides that my motor is probably on the way out? I'm going to guess that the rings are half-dead on the cyclinder and that it maybe be spraying when the motor is at high revs. Or that the motor actually got to normal operating temp on Tuesday when I drove it a distance then the rings leaked.
