That poor engine, it will be dying a slow grinding death :doh:
When it starts breathing real bad and is using lots of oil pull it apart and post pictures of the damage.
:welcome2:
Ermmmm no not really... i cant see why it would die to be honest, its never let us down, i havve fitted twin lucas filters (bean can type) then it goes threw another water seperator filter but then its straight to the engine, it runs 12 hours a day unless i stop it for service etc but it just keeps running... it was never ment to last so long infact the engine was scrap to begin with but after a head gasket thrown on and i mean litraly thrown on and an over sized sump with cooling fins fitted sat in a 7inch "hole" fillled with water just to help cooling it just keeps going, i have had to put a differant turbo on as it spat the other straight down the exhaust (that was exciting) but any engine in any vehical with a turbo is prone to that, as for engine damage theres nothing to waer out as its fuel is going threw thee pump then injectors etc etc, as long as the engine oil is clean (in the sump not the fuel) then NO INTERNAL DAMAGE can occur... at worst i expect the injectors to clog or pump to fail but every 100 hrs i drop a bottle of fortron in the fuel just to help keep the pump and injectors flowing.
