Hello! So I’ve had some water/mud through my engine after the air box wasn’t seated properly.
now I get black smoke on acceleration which I didn’t before
a ton of blow by (enough to make the oil cap dance when unscrewed)
and a kinda lumpy idle, misfires when cold.
Now before I commit to writing the engine off is there anything I’m missing? If i had these issues without the amount of blowby I’m seeing id be more inclined to look into them, but I’m thinking the easiest thing now is get a standard disco and swap all my good bits over to it or one with a decent engine and rotten body/chassis and swap the engine?
