karlb Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Whats all this gunge on the head??is it from lack of oil change?was the best low cost way of removing it? Also this is the breather pipe from the rocker cover to the intake can.what has caused this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 milky oil is water in the oil, usually just moisture build up fgrom being cold and then warming up(condensation) the crud is coked oil crap...dont try and get rid of it unless your doing a rebuild,get it chemically cleaned. if any of that gets loosened and goes into your motor it can wear shit out pretty quick.

karlb Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 thanks shizzl.so if i pull the oil pan off clean that and then pull the head off and clean all that gunge off.or will i have to do the whole motor and acid dip it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 if you take the head off that would be good, get it cleaned, take the sump off and have a look at the bottom end...'you may find that the oil pick up is a bit caked aswell... you shouldnt have to do the block unless its super bad...

Unclejake Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I would do a compression test on that motor before spending any money on cleaning it. There looks to be a huge amount of carbon in that sludge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 that looks like a pickapart motor, maybe you could get rid of the shit on the head by removing the rockers and soaking them in something/kero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgweiser Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 ^ Or soak in hot wated and surf, try and get as much of it out of the head then put a litre of diesel in the oil and try and run it through.. It's not looking good for you tho bro, i'd get a wanted ad up for a motor, as some good c*nt will have something better than that. I am guessing it is a smoker as well.. Imagine how blocked the oilway's are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlb Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 im on the look out for another motor iswell but will chuck up a wanted add. i was thinking of pulling the head off, taking it down to wash world and degrease the hell out of it. and doing the same to the sump pan and just clean what i can on the block itself. i was also thinking running a bottle or 2 of engine flush through it, but last time i did that in my wagon the oil pump shit itself a month or so later. dunno wheather it was caused from that or not.

Yowzer Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 With that much scum buildup, that engine will not have been looked after at all. As UJ said, run a compression test, and if possible a leakdown test. Then remove head and sump, inspect sump for any shiny deposits, and get shit dipped. If there are shiny bits in the sump then your engine is due for a full rebuild / boat anchor conversion. If it was me an engine like that would be getting a full rebuild. Or scrapped. But that's just me. I've had enough "She'll be 'right" moments backfire on me in the past.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 ive seen an engine in the same state as that last another 75000kms before being sold on.. i would clean the head and look inside the arse end myself,then consider a new motor.. clean out the breather system too why replace it with something thats probably either in the same state or worse(clean inside the oil cap doesnt always mean its a good motor).
