You guys are awsome.How do you upload pics do you copy and paste.
I had a look at all the plugs and they are dark dad 1st reaction was rich could have had slight oil but dry so it looked pretty good to him there was no markings on the plugs which is good to.
Inlet ports are dark as well bu i am not sure if it was turbo before as it came with a turbo plenim and turbo but no manifold so it could be oil from turbo(Hoping)engine is startable dad wants to rebuild now before i put in but so far its not coming back out,lolQuote:

Mmmm, now I'll have to go dig out my old ones, I seem to remember that they had black carbon on them, and also some oil. Then again, the whole motor is full of oil, it was over filled with cleanish oil.
Am worried about 3 tiny pieces of aluminium I found in the sump. They weren't the usual fine fillings(which there were none of) from when you have a bearing failure, but rather looked like little pieces of casting, from when the mold doesn't seal properly, that broke of or came loose. I hope they are just that...
Also there is a lot of black carbon in the inlet ports...
Going to do a compression test, and then start it without the turbo on, to see of there are any noises inside or not. If it's buggered or loose stuff comes flying out, at least it won't break the turbo...
