Oil leaking out from the top of the engine

<< < (2/3) > >>

Neil Jones:
Is there a remedy for that? is it sump off, pistons out, new rings?

dave_2A_2.25Turbo:
sounds that way - quite easy, just a bit time consuming!

Neil Jones:
Ok, thanks for the help guys.  Sounds like I'm going to get oily again!  Oh well, thats all part of the joy of owning an old Landy.

Rich_P:
You may find it easier to do if you remove the engine and have an engine stand to place it on while you work on it.

Wear in the bores can also cause these symptoms, in which case a rehone at least would be required if not a rebore.  Rebore then means that new pistons are needed etc.

Neil Jones:
For now will try a makeshirt replacement to try and collect the oil which is forced up, maybe through the oil filler pipe.  Then whilst living with this short-term, will get an engine short re-built and then when I get a chance swap the engines.
