-
Thanks that's what I was thinking just seems waste of engine as I'm scaping my car ha a good engine but rest is no good thanks
-
Hi no I'm asking because I got a good ford tdci 2.0 deisel engine but would like to no if it's possible cost effective to change as the one in the boat is tired
-
Hi has any one had a ford 2.0 tdci conversation to go into a narrow boat or is it not possible to convert because of the electricals it needs to run them ?
-
Yes or i wouldn't be asking wasting my time or any one else's time for that matter
-
Its starts up from cold few turns then will start when at running temperature turn it off then if you leave it a minute just flick the key half a turn on engine its starts straight away thats got me baffled too
-
That's not the exhaust thats it braathing i to the breather pipe and fed it to a scin fitting to go out side in stead of filling engine bay up with smoke
-
That now hope you can make it out
-
I idown loaded it from inter net so im not sure just need to no in psi that what my compreoin tester is in
-
What should the compression roughly be on the bmc 1.8 diesel if anyone ones if they coukd tell me in psi kind regards Carl
-
Bmc 1.8 diesel. So what should the compression roughly be as its a old engine kind regards Carl
-
Ideally, it should be reading somewhere around the 400 PSI, the fall off it power is due to wear or lack of maintenenace and can often be relatively easily be sorted out.
It is possibly valves leaking, or piston rings stuck, both could be due to carbon build up and a good de-coke could solve it. It may be more involved with worn bores etc, but that would be identified when you start the decoke.
Are all cylinders showing the same sort of pressure ?
Good luck

Thats in my manual sent photo so if the compression on my engine is at 300psi is that good or bad. Is that why its breathing heavily
-
-
I looked at the manual all i can make Out it should be 21 cm i could be Wrong if anyone knows what the 1.8 Compression should be please
-
I have cleaned that out first thing i done I have done a comparison test on it yesterday and all 4 cylinders are at 21cm or 300 psi thats whats puzzleing me
