ok i my car has started back firing on me, spewing out oily water and black smoke from the exhaust, i can not gain any power and i sit at around 30 clicks, and when ever u start the car there is not enough power to take off so i got to rev the fuck out of it and drop the clutch basically bag it up and i get going but then only to about 30 clicks as i said, it is jolting all around the place and it feels like i have just started driving a manual car all over again. can any of u please give me a decent answer as to what it might be.
thanks heaps. enemy. |

Hmm, so lets just double-check the symptoms, watery-oil in the sump, oily-water in the radiator, loss of power, lots of back-firing...
99% likely that you have blown your headgasket. |

You got a silly answer cos it loked like you just wnet for a drive, had a problem, and logged straight onto this group to ask questions without anyself investigation. Thats a bit lame.
You could have done a few checks first yourself. IF you dont know what to do, get a manual and start learning. They have a trouble shooting section which is good to start at.
Do this to check your compression. Pull out all the spark plugs. Put your finger over No 1 hole. Get someone to crank the engine a few revs. Do the same with the other cylinders.
Does it feel like the pressure build up on your finger is the same on all cylinders? IF its the same, your head gasket is not blown. |

not to your knowledge alan i did have a look under the bonnet take the cover off the head and did a few checks my self which led me to the conclusion that i had blown head gasket, but not really knowing much about engines just the basics i came on here and asked just to get a second opinion on what it might be. im not being rude im just saying that i did check b4 asking the group so dont have a go at me if u dont know what is going on, i just wanted a simple secong opinion on what it might be, ok.

I'd like to be able to log in here if my car was having "issues" and get a bit of guidance. Pretty stressful when things aren't working and you don't know why. You don't have to reply to a post you know. |

Well if you did those checks, you didnt let us know in your first post.It kinda looked like you just looked up the exhaust and that was it.
Make sure you tell us all your checks, so we have a few things to go on. Anyway, I told you how to check your comp. How did it go? |
