Me 202 was doing the same running rough water in oil not as much as that tho I did compression tests bloody everything tuning every couple of days then talked to the old fella . (Dad) and he said me head was fxxxed and it was ,so I bought a high compression head drop it on fixed .it doesn’t sounds as good running rough so I have Purchased a bigger cam and straight cuts to make it sound like it did haha ,I’m about to do panel and paint me self. you fella’s give me the push to have a go at it myself cheers keep it up fellas 👍👌🤙hopefully it’s just a gasket burther
Cheers mate I appreciate it! that’s what I’m worried about it could be being, Hopefully it’s not. The motor was a good running engine when it was pulled out when I bought it years ago. It’s from a vn calais and the electrics went so it got parted out, back when they weren’t worth much. So the heads should be good they pretty much had everything done to them that was needed.
Need to do a pressure test on the wagon mate. Water in the oil during winter is pretty normal from condensation when sitting around mine always does it. The miss fire is a worry tho.
I’m used to the cap having a bit of moisture in it. That’s fairly common with 5 litres. But this was milky milky. It’s been through the motor. I’m fairly confident that it’s the head gasket. Misfire is definitely a worry, hopefully it’s not something serious. But most the top end will come apart so if a valves not seating or burnt we’ll be able to tell. Hopefully it hasn’t wiped a lobe. Then again. That means I’m allowed to go bigger doesn’t it?
Certainly does. Yea moisture under the cap is normal. All of mine are milky on the dipstick during winter until I take em for a spin. I change my oils every spring once the condensation stops
Just looking at your oil it looks grey I don’t know if it’s the camera or the lighting if that’s the case you might have a bad bearing as well head gaskets on those engines are quite easy to change out you could probably do it for $100 Pull the heads off, it definitely needs work
It does look somewhat grey rewatching the video again, I hope it’s just the lighting in the shed that’s making it that way, That engines got 3000 kms on it at best.

Spray guns can never be clean enough eh...
Gotta keep on top of them from the get go to keep them looking new, or newish!
@@V8JakeC A malfunctioning spraygun is insanely frustrating. Especially when you have start again!
Great vid once again, sad about your wagon tho🥲
Cheers mate, yes it sure is, good excuse to give it a birthday though
