dropping it down the engine instead of a catch tank it pretty rough though.
its the bigger 1 thats been cut and modded
so has wee 1 it has realy wee pipe going of it to wee silver thing where air box normaly sitts
There is evidence this engine is breathing heavy, in other words has piston blow by which is blowing the turbo seals by excessive crankcase pressure. Is there oil in the idle valve pipework.
Has the engine been rebuilt in its life or is it standard. These engines are getting on 20 years old. My brother had all these symptoms in his cav turbo before he replaced it with a rebuilt unit. His did 160,000ish
Thats impossible woudn.t been able to drive she woud shake like f"£k due to the crank trying to rotate though the oil.this happen to me, the div
over filled to above the max and the car ran like s"£t and had to drain the the oil so did you wipe the dip stick before to the pic cause that dose look to much
not to notice
If there was that much oil in it then the breather pipework would be likely to be saturated in oil anyway and it would smoke like hell. I'd run it for a while to see if it clears myself.

yes was on flat ran it for while and disconted pipe to let it drio out again, realy need it on ramps to get to sump plug so i dont thread it or wourse and sump nackerd

I think your looking at rebuild steven theys to much oil on that dip stick which means either the crank is in the oil,In fact is the engine cold go and dip it again
and give me a proper reading this time

Thats what i said, its a legal check.
I would also go and check the oil again when the cars cold and on a level surface. Not acusing you of not knowing how to check the oil properly as i'm sure you do, but open bonnet, pull stick out, wipe it, dip it right back in for a couple of secs then pull out and check level.
Does the car smoke? On idle or when you rev it? If so what coulor?
personally i would be dropping all the oil out, changing the filter and putting 4.5 litres of vauxhall semi in just in case the dipstick is the wrong one etc.
if you drain it and put 4 1/2 in you know its right.....
certainly wouldnt drive it with that much oil in the pressure must be way over 5 bar.
I you had shown me that much oil in the car when you bought it I would have said someone did it to hide low oil pressure but if your mate did it then is obviously just a mistake.
you dont need a ramp steven just jack her up and spin off the sump plug
thats way to much oil dude
