to be transplated in ek


I just checked out a type s engine. Did a leakdown on it with results 20% in cyl. 1,2 and 4. Cyl 3 wax leaking 40%. Now, i would like to know if these are decent numbers, mind you, the engine is not sitting in a car and not a normal operating temperature. test was done with engine sitting on the ground. Im guessing the valve seals are fully expanded.

Also, there was an oil stain on the cardboard the engine was sitting on. Looked under the engine and saw (what i think) a chip where the tranny casing meets the block. The chip is on the tranny side and goes through the casing (oil leaking). What could have caused this?

please help out
thanks

when u did the leak test did u happen to listen where the leak was coming from?

because the fact that cyl. 3 has diff numbers than cyl. 1 2 and 4 makes me think that cyl.3 has something going on w/ it. could be more worn rings in 3....

the crack in the tranny casing could be from anything....most likely from handling

hope this helps

what do you mean from handling?

it worries me because its like a hole 1/8 in by 1/4 in. and oil is leaking out.

where did u get the motor from? i meant that it couldve been damaged while being pulled from the car, or being transported to whereever it is, btw i think u sent me an im and i cancelled it cuz i thought it was a pop up , my bad

eg4sheezy

if the damage is from shipping and not internal related, can it be repaired or does it have to be replaced?

could the numbers be low because the engine wasnt nearly close to being at full operating temperature (ie. valve seals NOT expanded might cause leak?)

anyways, gonna open up the oil pan and see what i could find.

Anybody else?
Thanks

Ps. if the motor is fucked, can i get my money back from the POS who sold it to me like by going to the cops or something?
