Nice crack in cylinder 1. New block and start again. Could a crack in the cylinder bore cause the water to go into the oil :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power Jet Member 151 Member For: 16y 4m 15d Gender: Male Posted 05/01/12 09:04 AM Author Share Posted 05/01/12 09:04 AM guys that's the depressing part :(I already built the motor in Feb just gone. Mahle pistons, atomic rods, port and polished head, oil gears. So instead of changing oil every 5000km, I do it differently and change a ENGINE EVERY 5000KM. *cries*.
