Hi all I have an Evo 4 at 320bhp.
Recently its been using quite a bit of oil and gives off whitey/blue smoke under power, and you can smell burning oil. So I went to check compression and got close to 5 bar per cylinder, how ever my battery isn't too clever so these results won't be right. Anyway as I had the spark plugs out I had a look in to the bores and noticed that number 1 cylinder had oil in, so I cranked the engine and it went away and then I watched to see if it came back and it did, within 15 seconds the cylinder had a pool of oil again (Bear in mind engine is off so I can I rule rings out?) Just wondering if anyone has seen/had this problem and what was the cause?
Obviously I will be removing the head, so would need head gasket and bolts, at 320bhp (I want around 360 soon) would a standard head gasket cope? and standard bolts?
Another question I'm in need of a clutch, but as I only fancy 360bhp, 370 max what clutch is good enough at a reasonable cost?
One more quick question I've bought a TD05HR 16G 10.5T will I benefit any power installing this?
Thanks
