After 155000kms i decided it was time to rebuild my own car!
Very high oil consumption, lack of power and excessive oil leakage was the problem!
After stripping the engine i discovered the oil consumption problem...
Excessive cylinder wear... 0.10mm over the limit!!
The crankshaft was in good condition..
New standard sized main and big end bearings were fitted.
The crankshaft was polished with p240 grit sand paper..
The cylinders were bored and honed to 0.50mm oversize with new pistons and rings.
The block and cylinder head surfaces were skimmed 0.30mm...
A thicker cylinder head gasket was needed due to the skimming procedure.
New valves, valve guides and valve seals were fitted....
Important facts:
1} The EGR valve had to be stripped and cleaned due to excess carbon build up.
2} I had the alternator and starter motor reconditioned {just in case} due to the difficulty of removal when on the car.
3} The intercooler was cleaned thoroughly due to oil build up.
