Use better ln versions

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey, I need some help! After a track day oil was found over the engine and pooling under the intake. I had the motor inspected and found Oil pooling under intake. The shop Performed leak down and compression tests. 15% leakage on cylinder #2, scoring on bank one cylinder walls. What can I do short of scrapping the motor. Can I replace bank 1 cylinders and pistons? Do you have any suggestions? I want to track the car...? Thanks for the discussion. Peter

POST 3Original post

I just finished reading Jake Raby's article on Cylinder Bore Scoring. It may be expensive, but fortunately it may not mean scrapping the engine.

POST 4Original post

The oil on the motor is likely the air/oil separator Bore scoring won’t cause oil to get out of the motor except out of the tail pipe

I see it as a opportunity to upgrade the engine !
