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

the leakdown numbers sound off ...were you using a tester with an air regulator ..and was it dialed in correctly?

do you have pics of the tranny casing?

 

help?

 

...Pm sent

Aim: K2oEG

 

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?

 

all k-series trannies have that "chip" in the tranny. i changed my oil a few days ago and i was like WTF is that hole in my tranny. and then i found out that my friend's k20a2 had the same hole in the tranny. i guess it's normal.
heat release?? shaves realease?? i dont know.

 

are you serious. sounds too good to be true. where is the hole? under the tranny?

 

can anyone else confirm this?
pictures would be great. PLEASE.

thanks again

 

what about the hole in the tranny casing?

 

i dont have a dig camera. but im positive in this one i saw it with my two eyes.

 

where exactly is the hole you saw hatch bmx

 

right where the tranny housing meets the block.

 

so right next to the gasket?
and is there a little oil leak^
Thanks bmx
