Rich Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Surely that engine is knackered now?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP09 Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 My Morris Minor had a little emulsion in the rocker cover and breather pipes (quite normal for that engine - especially with modern engine oils with detergent added). It was obviously damp, but on removing the goo, the metal surfaces were perfectly OK - it seems that the thin oil layer before the emulsion helped protect. The real problem here is how to remove ALL the gunk. Maybe flushing oils would help, maybe a hosepipe! I guess that the real problem is that the only way to be sure that all the oilways are clear is to dismantle the engine and manually check everything - replacing as necessary. Probably not an economic option. Mind you, I'll bet it quietens any piston slap/noisy tappets/timing chain rattle ...
