And some little things i do to the car lately:



3/28/2011

Today when i tested the waterpipes.............The water comes into the engineoilA real setback for the project.I bought the engine for 5 years ago.No money back for this.compression on all 4 cylinders is very good.
The old oil that i changed last week was no sign of oil in.
Maybe a crack in the engine block

Here is the problem.This is the crankcase breatherNo water connection to this



And a another problem leads to a another problem:



This weekend goes to take out the transmission and replace the crankgasket.
