| Post subject: | Engine not fiering on 1 piston |
One of the pistons wont fire up cos there seems to be to much oil coming through. When i take the spark plug out it has a layer of oil on it. I know the spark plug is workin cos i run it with the spark plug out and im gettin a good spark of it. I am tryin to figure out if the oil is comin from a worn valve seal or it is comin through the piston. Wat is the easiest way of to find out. I have been told that with these engines somtimes the oil scraper seal can get cloged up with gunk stopping it from working proper. Do u know if this is true and would an engine oil flush clear the problem. |

Could well be your scraper ring gummed up with carbon........ It's worth trying Forte Gas Treatment - which is what Mazda recommend you use every 6 months.............but it sounds like you may be beyond this! The only way of truly finding out is to strip the engine. Anyway - check out my experience at http://www.club323f.com/club323f/forum/ ... ght=carbon |
