you may have read in an article i have posted in this section about oil in my inlet manifold
ive had major problems with my box ,and was begining to think the engine was a gonna
but ! the one thing i hadnt changed was the oil filter ,i changed the oil when i bought it ,but didnt have the tool to get the oil filter off and consdiering it had a major service 7months before thought i was being over cautous doing the oil change ,anyway i took the filter off ,and couldnt believe what i saw ,i should have taken a piccy for the forum
the filter cartridge was stuck in the filter housing with black silt ,it was like the kinda stuff you'd get from the bottom of a pond or river ,i cleaned it out ,cleaned around the filter housing,changed the oil(which was golden brown and looked normal) and stuck a new filter on
now this problem may have killed my engine as its not running right and has excessive blowby which i thought was the AOS ,i changed it and no difference
Its having a diagnostic ,comression test and camrea down its bore tomorrow
so we'll see what happens
maybe flushing it may have prevented this or made it worse?
