M. Reged: 10/09/2010 Posts: 282 Loc: Costa del Poole Head gasket failure, or worse. 3.6PT       12/09/2010 13:11 Edit   Reply   Continuing the saga of my broken 3.6. I guess it wasn't as healthy as i thought. There is definitely a failure of some sort, as there is now water in the oil. Also, the right hand bank has a lot of water moisture in all 4 cylinders, as seen on the spark plugs. But especially #1 cylinder. Left hand bank, there are 2 plugs with a little bit of moisture on #5 and #6, and oil on #7 and #8. So, I am now in the process of stripping the top end down for a closer look. Presumably, I should be able to get the entire induction section and fuel rail assembly off in one unit. I will try anyway. I want to do as little dismantling as possible, as the car may remain in a part stripped state for some time. And I can't justify the expense of someone else tackling the job. And there was me hoping the biggest job to was getting the timing belt covers off, which was a tale in itself. If there is something more serious going on, like cracked heads or block, then a replacement engine might be in order. Is the 4.2 a fairly straight forward transplant? Ie. buy a ABH, and bolt it in. Or will there be transmission issues, etc? 85 WR quattro 90 V8 Silver, 91 V8 Black, 93 V8 Lago 93 100e quattro V6. Titan, i think Edited by Mark Hanman (12/09/2010 13:11) Post Extras
