el_freddo Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Sill smokin like Cheech & Chong. Guess its a ring issue as you said Bennie. Bummer. I've just stumbled across a pic of the piston we pulled from the engine I was talking about (sheer coincidence!). No unusual noises, no loss of performance (then again, it was an EA82 so...): I seriously hope it's not this. But it'd be a good time to drop in a mild cam while you've got the block split Cheers Bennie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 That looks absolutely horrible mate! I hope its not like that either, although, I don't see any other culprit now. Kinda running out of things to point my finger at If I were to replace Rings and or Pistons, I would try not to split the case. I've seen a video on how to do it just taking the heads off etc... But again, if I'm replacing pistons, I might as well do some research on what can be done to bump torque, milling heads and changing pistons out with something, and dropping in a cam. I dunno, thats a lot of stuff, and it would be far off on a back burner across the ocean. Right now, the car runs and drives really well, took it on a good cruise today actually. I've only noticed some smoke once while stopping from higher speed. Its quiet sporadic if I may say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Frosty 28* morning! Gotta get this thing tucked away for winter soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 With a heated garage (we ALL know you have them! ) it'd be a good time to strip the engine down and do a thorough rebuild before the next spring comes around ;) A hone, rings, pistons should do the job. At worst you could need a rebore, which would still need rings and pistons (oversized!). While you're there a new set of bearings would be the go. Then the last bit would be dropping a mild cam in there CheersBennie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) Spring Time Start! Runs like a beaut. Ordered $200 worth of exhaust tubing and a Merge Collector to finally make a proper UEL header. I'm going to revamp the entire exhaust system soon, never choice of muffler this time to remove the hollow can sound.Stay turned for an updated video; filled with Boxer splendor! <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NI6CsPfae7k" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Edited March 3, 2017 by TheLoyale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Also ordered in an Oil catch can, gonna hook that up all proper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86BRATMAN Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Did you ever find a replacement for that passenger side molding you were missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Yeah, I think I snagged it from Forrest dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Installed an oil catch can which seems to have removed the smoking from deceleration and the PCV looks to be free of oil! Still need to make a bracket to fully mount it up and run full HPS Silicon hosing. On another note, I have made this UEL header with Mandrel bent 16ga 1.75" mild steel tubing, all welded up and mounted. Ordered some more tubing to make the 2.25" mid-pipe which will run to some type of Can style muffler, Looking at Apexi N1 or similar, 2.5 In and a 4" Out. Should sound pretty wicked. More updates to follow! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 So unbeknownst to me until today, Photobucket has changed their Terms and now require a $400/per year fee to keep IMG codes active on 3rd party sites. There for, all Build threads and Write-ups I have made on the USMB (Including hundreds of other threads) will no longer have pictures. I will work on fixing this issue and restoring the threads the best I can so they can still be usable. So as always, stay tuned for more! -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm super pissed at myself now for not downloading an offline copy of the ski wagon page. You should get in touch with photobucket's customer service team and see about a free one-week trial or something. Then you can save copies of the threads and keep your $400. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
