Steam cleaning of both cylinders 3 & 4 ???? The lowest cylinder pressure ocurrs during the intake stroke and that is when the outer cylinder will draw water through the break in the head gasket. As the compression stroke starts in the outer cylinder, the inlet valve is still open and some water, now steam, could get pushed back into the 3&4 inlet port to be injested by the inner cylinder at the next inlet valve opening. Does that make sense? Yep, I follow you. I've never heard of this happening but it could be plausible, and 3 & 4 are certainly cleaner than I'd expect them to be. Rod; couple more pictures. Hopefully I've captured whatever it is you think you can see?!

It must just be a camera reflection, water, oil, when you took it apart... Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |

Just some oil that'd run down the stud from the head I think Rod.

#4 is fairly clean as it has been solvent vapour cleaned imediately after the gasket blew. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
Yep I agree with TD........ |
