some old pals of mine came out and saw a tiny small like strw pipe under engine and is pissing from there what pipe could this be it is coming from a brass knob with tiny small kinda straw pipe...

get some pictures up fella trying to decode your descriptions are going to get us no where

[jayrs]

im a bit confussed my self

[rsfiestaturbo]

haha sorry guys its dark now there is a tiny thin pipe under engine like the one which coms out of the turbo but the one at the bottom is squiting the thin little pipe is comeig from a brasspipe but it still has flush in maybe too much pressure with new oil maybe why u need use old oil to flush as old oil is watery than new oil makes sense? i had drained oil and thought id use new oil and flush it but it said to use old oil on tin.. thought of gettin it clean as possiblke for new oil even though flush oil i used was new... soz about explaining dudes...

[rsfiestaturbo]

lol

[knuckles]

seriously get some pics up of the pipes u refer too and if posible get a short video of this tapping.
without this i aint got the foggiest what to suggest tbh

[rsfiestaturbo]

i will but dont know how to post vids on this in a post... new to forums

[jayrs]

all i can think with out a pic, is its a breather pipe

[jayrs]

i will but dont know how to post vids on this in a post... new to forums

think im fed up it is coming from the ford turbo gaurges pipe the actual oil pressure pipe no idear where to get 1 for it it is a thin pipe with brass end nuts it has snapped bin to bristol ford and they say they dont have them parts because they are racing clocks and will see if can get the pipe.. no idear what it is called i know its like a straw see through pipe with screws one which leads to the oil pressure gaurge...

[jayrs]

ah i know what ya mean now, its a take off for a oil pressure gauge.

you should be able to get them fittings, a pneumatic or hydraulic place should have them, or even ebay

[rsfiestaturbo]

no idear carnt find 1 anywhere maybe u can only get them when u buy the gauges? unless u know a place i could get 1... how dangeouse these are for a such small pipe could be driving home and all oil gone... its going to a merchanic have it all done sump gasket change lifter's change rocker gasket change. switchin from 15w50 to 10w40 mobile 2000 x1 i think 15w50 is too thick for it... problem is driving it to his with such low oil barely any left in it.. u think it is safe?he lives about 1 mile away.. i have dodged the pipe so it is leakin still the engine but if it fell off it would drain in min's...

[rsfiestaturbo]

i fount a place but i dont kow the screw thread looks like the one but if i get it and aint the right one... it is the 3 dial clocks in white 1 battery, 2 oil pressure, 3, turbo boost.. and says racing ford on the dials... any idear? lol its the same 1 as this 1 http://passionford.com/forum/ford-rs-tu ... 010-a.html but that one is snapped on its end unless its fixable...

[rsfiestaturbo]

weird also this one has no end and is brand new if had no end stoper it fall out it had brass end on it stop it sliding out of the screw nut http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=for ... ORM=IDFRIR this is picture of it to...

[jayrs]

if you got a oil leak, and low oil, driving it is just silly, your do more harm than good.

as for the fitting, see my last reply, that tells you where you will get them fittings.


your thread will be a NPT (national pipe thread) or a BSP (british standard pipe) thread, the NPT is norm a tappered thread, but your need to find out what ya got, if its engine bay one it could well be 1/8 NPT fitting you need with a pipe olive to suit the naylon pipe you got, but as i said, get to a pneumatic or hydraulic place as they will deffo have a fitting

post a pic of whats broken, if you dont have a pneumatic or hydraulic place near you then you can get the fittings off ebay, but your need to know what ya need, so it would be best if you could walk into a place and say, i need one of these..........

[rsfiestaturbo]

it is going to merchanic tomo i got problem with the dam alarm now first time its rained since had it and it keeps going of every second now its raining and it has rain cover on it im trying program it and its not having any its the clifford 650 mk11 sensor is on window thinking if this is causing it u recon? i thought too what if it ran battery out and no locks on car to get in it only way is central locking... great idear lol its all gone pear shapped with this car... looks like it must of bin garaged i try to dis arm in with instructions but the button which disarms it spost be just dos what central lockin button must be cause its set up to the central locking? looks like this alarm needs to be set up on a battery of its own so can be switched off or un plugged and still able get in and lock it with alarm disabled...

[jayrs]

thats prob a feature with the alarm and its too sensitive maybe.

as for the rest, dunno, only ever had 1 clifford alarm and that wa sin a car i got to sell on and never messed with it

[rsfiestaturbo]

i was thinking if battery ran out how can i get in the vehicle lol it is gettin work done now to it..

[rsfiestaturbo]

i just spoke to the chap i brought car off and he is saying you need 15w50 cause i explained all faults and whats going on and that 10w40 is going in when its all done. 10w40 is fine and better for oil circulate?

[rsfiestaturbo]

hi not gd news got car back now he is saying oil pump has gone and hes going charge me a big sum again it is still leakin oil so im going check to see if sump is put on right carnt believe it think i was better with a full rebuild for how much spent on it, it is tapping like hell too still he also is saying cam shaft could of gone.... not very happy for how much i not long brought the car.... i gotta wait now ages too get it fixed.. could this oil pump make the engine tapp? we have spent around £500 on engine now think thats gettin close to a full rebuild and engine is screwed.. also the boost isnt hittin proper on it...

[rsfiestaturbo]

i just checked under the car again and the sump gasket has split again and looks like where all the oil is leaking still.. are these hard to fit sump gasket or should be easy for a merchanic looks like he has used lube too, i rang him bck and explained its bin split the sump gasket so he says dont buy a oil pump then bring it bck wensday he has bin payed for the job too. i kicked her in also which looks like start motor has gone too as it wont kick in at first had to bump when i kicked it in its tappin like hell on standby now... when i asked about the lifters where they nacked he say proper nackered so i said where r they he said they bin thrown away i was like thinking already cause its tappin its ass off... also he said there was no oil left from a 5 litre bottle mobil which means i going have to buy all... that tapping isnt right at all im thinking has he blocked the sump filter...

[FRSJON]

feel sorry for you mate all this could of been prevented if someone who knew what they were on about looked at the car sooner

[rsfiestaturbo]

yes all messed up my misses ready kill me with the money etc lol how much u reckon a full rebuild would cost it had 1 30k miles ago and was all done by fabrications etc owned only 10 days if that...

[jayrs]

depends how you go about it, if you strip and rebuild it ya self the cost will be lower.
also, if the block needs vboring and new pistons you can add £500 on the bill, but if it was done 30k ago the chance of that needing to be done is slim, so its gunan be chaper.

if the crank is fine, then that wont need doing, so its basicly a strip down, new pumps, seals, etc etc, as for top end, if the cam and tappets ahve gone then tis a new cam kit, cost depends on what needs doing and what parts you get.

does sound like you have been unlucky, and as jon said, if sometone that knew what they were doing got on it right away it could of been a simple fix

[rsfiestaturbo]

i agree wasnt even drove much too but i think its out of order some1 say this is wrong then i buy parts and fit and hasnt fixed job then say its somethingelse then i check the sump gasket is split again should i have to pay him do the sump and pay for oil gasket and work when i drove it around block check it and its leaking again? the chap said to me who i brought it off shouldnt touched sump cause it was all brand new sump pan and gasket cost him £350 if he told me this then i would of passed on that cause 1 merchaic said it is 90% chance oil sump filter blocked.. having problem kick in now too starter motor sounds ded when battery aint most prob all the oil over the starter motor and alternator? also he replaced lifters i rang him and i said hows it crackin he said sorted i said noways not already in like 3 hours odd time he said yes ages ago. i thought how has he too exhaust off alternator off starter motor off scraped all glue off and gasket refitted gasket and glue with sump pan put al that back on the took rock cover off and stripped head down to lifters replaced lifters out oil in all done in matter 3 half hours. bit speedy for that i think.. anyway i told him what the lifters look like when got there he said i thrown them on bck wagon already i was chuffed like and wanted too see them and though dogdey now it is tapping like hell on stand by when i can get it kicked in... when i very first wrang him he said turbo was fcked or engine is i said leakin took it him said get him the parts lifters etc got them fitted then told me maybe needs cam after all done.. drove around block then say its the dam oil pump took her home and leakin from sump split gasket. i took him haynes manuel too so he can do torque right but he insisted no he dosnt need it... would bin better just getting top end rebuild. most prob would of payed for it by now and engine is worser and leakin.

[jayrs]

it could be done in that time, more so on a ramp, but sounds like he dunno wtf hes doing, and binned the tappets, hmm, even if he did, in 3 hours he could of dug them back out the bin,

i dont trust garages, and never will, they will fleese you when ever they can, and from what you have put, it sounds like he might be doing just that

[frst toady]

mate i jus been reading this and tbh the bloke from the garage sounds like a knock off nigel type of c#@t

[rsfiestaturbo]

he works in garage but he did it at his house so hade to pump it up wont go up ramp's... im thinking stripping her and selling her make money back all what needs doing to engine is some1 proper put on sump gasket most prob rushed it too fast... engine has had load's k's spent on it as u can see.. oil pan is brand new too that cost £350 and gearbox is nearly brand new, cossy K&N filter K&N rocker Filter.. Turbo isnt very old have receipt of replace.. this turbo everything will be included theres that many racing pipes too.. bailey motorsport dumpvalve baily oil bottle which pipes connect to on pic... i want £1500 for the complete engine including turbo... u think i should make new post on this? he says take it back to him on wensday he will most prob naff the sump gasket again and waste another 5 litre oil bottle etc oh forgot to say rebuild it had too not long ago...

[frst toady]

tbh mate if u take it back to him again then i not got much sympathy for ya if it goes funlumps up again as he showed he not to clued up on things as it is
your best bet would be look around there will be a garage what no's a bit about these motors im sure there probably few ppl on this site wot no of a few local to where u are

[rsfiestaturbo]

i rang ford they say it is trouble fiitin these they have to be fitted perfect. and i was gettin gasket from a to z 2 up to yet. gt motorsport say u need the ford one cause i explained what has happined that they split. check this out it was tapping i reved it and it stopped cause it was doing it on standby. he replaced lifters yestaday also first thng i checked the oil lvl it was way too high he put the full 5 litres in he said cause drained complete but he hasnt took oil filter off and i know this car only takes most 4 litres oil. not 5 unless im wrong but when got up today was way over max and dosnt seam to be leakin on standby. but want it done proper is this normal for new lifters do? problem is i want it done proper and dont want to spend much more on this dam sump pan lol =/ engine last week or 2 it has had oil pan, hd leads, lifters, cam belt, and had full rebuild not long ago too. abit of smoke is now coming from oil cap when i take it off when bin running. used to didnt dont know if this is normal but didnt before i took it. lifters? i noticed there is like a scrap dint in the sump pan now too have no idear where or how he has done that.. it wasnt even hitting turbo etc as gd sluggish abit not sure if this is cause replacement lifters or too much oil... when i had it i thought it was nackered i was ready go off my nut lol

[jayrs]

fella, break down the replys a bit and explain better and stick to one thing at a time, im getting confussed here

the engine doint take 5 litres of oil, drain out whats needed, other wise it will cause problems.
dont take it back to this joker, he dunno wtf hes doing.

if i was you, i would book the car into your local fords and have them do the sump gasket, if it leaks, they have to replace it.

[MAD_Adamski]

that will be the oil pressure pipe come on think about it! Right i cant be arsed to read the whole thread but as i told glen there was a few issues that needed doing but glen did not do as i said and did what 'his mates' suggested i spent ALOT on the car and it needed a bit more spent in a couple of places to be perfect but he took off parts and changed ones that were fine and that didnt solve the problems... The tapping will be the lifters! its not a piper cam its a newman, however they kept rattling loose when i had it and as i tried telling you 'jay' there s**t they rattle loose too much if you wanna take my advice order a new piper cam kit and flog this one off on ebay, i have no doubt the cam is fine just the lifters are prob not working right as they always worked loose prob just a faulty batch but save the hassle fcuk it off and use a piper.

Secondly if you only paid 2k for the car it was a steal as in parts its worth a fortune. This is no insult but if you gonna moan and wanna cut corners to use the car then just sell it as thats already been done by the last owner. You get out what you put in the engine alone was near 1k bare. It needs money spending in the right places. you have my number i can give you advice but i am a busy bloke so cant always answer.

[MAD_Adamski]

missed half the posts i think, seriously not dissing you here but WTF did you buy this if you know nothing about them? You have took it to a mechanic that hasnt even checked what cam is in ? etc etc

i put a brand new oil pump in the car when i had it , if your bloke has put new lifters in then the lifters will be fcuked and the cam prob becuase its a newman cam and you CANT run std lifters with it the cam wil chew them up, the bottom end is forged! so you'd be stupid to mess with it ...

Seriously im gonna go out on a limb either you or glen are Fcuking thick to not know or understand the spec on this because between the 2 of you YOUS have Fcuked it up!

sorry but seriously do you homework... Just another case of people blaming cars for going wrong when its the owners who dont know what there doing!

its the lifters/cam etc thats causing the lack of power the turbo is a hybrid T28 and will flow 350hp! so running a poxy 200 if fine all day long!

If its bugging you that much sell it back to me for £1k and i'll fix it and keep it...

[rsfiestaturbo]

lol it hasnt done anything since lifters put in. so what kinda lifters do i need and where can i get them from.. if i knew in the first place mate what is on the car the chap i brought it off didnt even tell me.. i payed 3k for the car not gunna sell it in afew days for 1k.. so i need to take these lifters out and get? btw turbo is fine there is no bckfire or andything like that just the top end was tapping abit and it has only drove bck from his with new lifters in.. it is booked in gt motorsport for the sump gasket replace he said he would check see whats wrong with it.. but by the looks of it the last owner mst of had new lifters in as i drove it bck home next day i hurd tapping and started get louder so i havnt even hardly drove car cause i want it sound the same as i had it only afew days ago... like i said if i was told what is on it would work wounders wouldnt it. and who is glen?

[MAD_Adamski]

you have said in about 10 posts that youve changed this and that and the other so i dont know what you have or havent done but if you even started the car up on these lifters its fcked the lifters and the cam... And i know your mech would have done that so basically your cam and lifters are fcuked... like i said call me if you want some advice but seriously you should have done your homework...

[rsfiestaturbo]

well he has over flowed the oil cause i came out next day and it was over oil limit tapping isnt that loud just slightly but is enough to bug ur car isnt being droven. bit stupid to drive her if something aint right. the sump wouldnt of even bin tookin off if i new it had a new one on. a different merchanic told me that 90% it is sump oil filter and that was spotliss, i would have no idear if the chap never told me... im just trying to fix her... i think it is something i would pass on this info as it is important like u say...
