bluehaze Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 When you start the engine all seems fine for about 5 mins then she starts spitting oil out of the cyclone breather pipe. I've cleaned the cyclone but no joy. If you remove the dipstick it also spits at you. I don't have a pressure test kit (does anyone have one?) and am guessing that the excessive pressure in the bottom end is caused by head gasket failure, worn bores,or broken ring or piston. Can anyone recommend a good engineers? Other options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluehaze Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Tried to remove the head this afternoon. After stripping everything off I can't get the seal to separate - any ideas or tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluehaze Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 A tyre lever did the trick. Now I need to clean it, get it skimmed and rebuild it. Can anyone recommend an engineers to have the head skimmed, preferably around the midlands? What should it cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
