Turned out to be a bit of a piss around, I ended up getting better compression (400) and the same over all cylinders after changing the rings and honing the liners. My main problem turned out to be the ceramic filter in the rocker cover. It was caked in carbonised oil and wasn't allowing the...

Sweet. It'll be good to see. Seems like this is a common problem with these engines

So what have you done to the return pipe on the inlet? Capped it off?

Hey mate. Thanks for the reference. I'll move my can up higher and see what happens. At the moment its filling 200ml pretty quick.

Had my turbo looked at by a turbo shop and they think it's allgood. Changed the rings and honed the cylinders by hope without having the cylinders bored. Still no luck. Problem still exists. Can't see how it can be the turbo seals if its got excessive blowby under no boost.

Replacing a turbo is cheaper than a rebuild however the turbo seems like its in good condition with no play in the shaft.

You think its more likely the turbo than the rings?

Has anyone had experience with blowby on there engines? The truck was consuming quite some oil so I fitted a catch can. Found that fills woth oil pretty quick....200ml with about 150km of driving. Found quite a bit of excessive pressure from the oil cap cover and dipstick when removed which...

Looking at overhauling my 2LTE myself. So I don't run into problems removing the engine. How or what is the best way to split the transmission (a343f) from the engine to remove it?

Thanks mate. Its all pretty straightforward from what I've seen on here. The only part that's thrown me off course is the fact that the vacuum lines have been touched previously without removing the egr so am not sure what's going on. How do the 2 solenoids operate on the egr? I see the one...

Hi Guys Ive seen a few EGR forums on here regarding deleting it. Im quite new to these engines and have seen on mine that the previous owner (in Japan) has played around with the system. Can someone tell me or see what they have done in terms with the vac lines? I inspected the inlet manifold...
