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 ?

No I can't make it out. I am now very tempted to ask if you are serious in your questions or having a bit of fun at others' expense.
Two of us have suggested that if the breather is clean and free then your engine is badly worn.
You asked for and was given a typical expected compression test pressure and as yours is 100 psi down it again suggest worn cylinders etc.
What else is there to say unless you are hoping someone else will pop up with an answer you like more than those you have been given.
You are unlikely to get a definitive answer unless you do a pressure test (but you won't have the equipment) or take the head ff for a look-see
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

I'm confused, you asked about "breathing" but these are pictures of the exhaust and not the breather system.
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

Hi everyone i have a bmc 1.8 diesel in my norrow boat its breathing heavily any i dears what i can do i have put a extrer breather pipe on top of the oil filler cap to try lower crank case compreoin

Thank Alan, confirms what I said. You know I was searching for that in an online manual and I am sure it wasn't there. I had to search through my textbooks for a generic figure.
That now hope you can make it out

Out of curiosity who published your manual.?
When I started to mess about with cars I always purchased the official manufacturers manuals. Some of them were works of literary delight. One of them, I think it was Rover, used preface every major procedure with a list of the specific tools required. Often it would end with the comment 'or a hammer and two large screwdrivers'.
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
-
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

I am with Tracy - badly worn block/pistons/rings most likely.
It's weird that's what I think that one of the rings have snaped or a stuck piston ring it dose start up after 30 seconds of preheating so mite take it out for a few hours with the oil filler cap off it
1 hour ago, Tracy D'arth said:Well, its running but has defects.
If its been cooked it may well have broken piston rings.
With little to lose I would run it hard for as long as you ot it running into a bottle at the moment if I conect it the inlet air filter it just pours out with engine oil then
-
It was a second hand bloke witch I got told it come out it was a running engine apparently it was over heating the guy said it was the head what was at folt of overheating its been stead for 18 months I put a recon head on it the bores looked good that's all I now about the block
-
Yes I check oil level it's on the mark I had to top it up as I took the boat out test run
-
Yes the breather pipe on the side of the block at the side of the enige iv got it running into a bottle at the moment if I conect it the inlet air filter it just pours out with engine oil then

Hi got the engine running the 1.8 bmc diesel it was the starter motor. Now I have a problem it's breathing like a steam train if I leave the oil filler cap on it pushes engine oil out of the breather pipe oside of the engine block if I take oil filler cap off still breathes heavy but dose not push oil out of the breather hose on side of the block I checked the fill cap that's clear you can blow in to the cap with your mouth and feel air pass though it has any one got any idears apart I think that engine is nacked? Cheers

Hi I have ordered a new one should be here today thanks

But if you put the jump leads on the same battery(s) that would not tell you anything.
If you try the starter motor with jump-leads onto another (car ?) battery and it spins OK then the boat battery(s) are flat, if it still spins slowly then, yes, you may have a 'lazy starter'.
Yes I tryed it on my mondeo diesel battery with the car running still spun ofer slow the bendickes doesn't stay out when it spins round it just pops out for a second as you touch the live feed on the motor then it slides back to the none engage mode

I agree that is a very likely cause, may also be a masters witch has gone resistive for the same reason or the heavy wiring has been disturbed so it has a loose connection.
Yes I have the battery after on it as a booster start bilt in. I took the starter motor off and pe jumpy leads directly to the starter it not spinning very vast
