urgent - engne has become oil sprayer! Posted by Saabu [Email] ![]() ![]() |
need to get car running correctly - engine rebuild being fired up for the first time last night. 86 900T engine. Car caught but as soon as it did, oil was spraying out drivers side of engine bay (i presume oil coming out rear seal onto flywheel then being flung out).
this does not occur UNTIL engine catches ie 500 rpm, no leak while cranking.
Checked and oil pressure relief valve is loose about 1.5 turns. Bentley says if pressure too high or too low, valve could be plugged.
Should i tighten it home and try again or take it out and check it?
Could there be another source for the oil? we examined engine thoroughly to no avail. should i presume seal has been blown out?
need your feedback ASAP as car must be towed today if not driveable.
many thanks,
