onc youre done playing with the light (i would ignore it for now though)
I would get hold of a compression guage and take readings for each cylinder....if you do have a hole in a piston or a warped/melted piston then more than likely the re will be a low reading on one cylinder.
Hi been down the garage today took off the turbo heat shield and found the nuts are all missing off the turbo manifold.
Also i noticed that this keeps blowing i put a 20amp fuse in and it blew straight away. I have circled it on the picture below. Does anyone know how at speak japanese lol?
I will perform a compression test in the week as my garage is 20 miles away from my house and i will report back the readings i find. cheers john
Hi i noticed that the fire melted the wall of the hose so i took it off. i have purchased a hi temp boost hose to replace it.
I sorry to keep asking questions should all these red hoses be 4mm? i found the 1 with the restrictor in it.
All in all its not looking good for this st.
hi all i did compression test today and the readings and are as follows...
cylinder1 = 125 psi cylinder2 =116 psi cylinder3 = 115psi cylinder4 = 99psi hope its going to be good news for you lot but some how don't think it will be.
hi no i did not start the engine i was just turning it over .. the engine was cold.
Sorry but IMO thats not good enough. This is a turbo engine, and they don't last long when things like this start to happen. That's a serious amount of variation.

Good man Ed.
@frank whats the difference in having the throttle closed or open?It would probably read higher having it open? Cylinder 4 is quite low. . .my reading are between 115-120psi all 1-2psi of each other
I got readings as high as 140psi out of an engine I recently built in the last 6 months for another st
