no, its sucking in oil which happens when the crankcase is overfilled. the oil ignites on the compression stroke, like diesel, and so the engine keeps running. there really is no way to kill it other than running into a wall or dropping it into 5th if you have a manual. The awesome part is, the engine will keep going faster and faster until it kills itself.

Well that can't be good.... Oh, hello there...  Does this explain the no-start condition?  Probably, yes. Clutch kit is on the way, gotta scavenge some new sensors.

Brain Issues posted:Engines don't normally have water shooting out of cylinders do they?? Hahaha, had a used engine that I was going to swap with a dead one that did something like this, but with engine oil. Left a huge black spot on the ceiling =/ Guess if be posting a series of better pics if I hadn't checked the compression and emptied the cylinders of oil first.

Doesn't hurt that A8s are all-aluminium. I'm curious how much more expensive to insure that makes them, seeing as how it's so much harder to fix properly.

He screamed about how he could not trust anyone, someone was stealing his poo poo, etc. a week later, a car he had worked on came in on a flatbed, steering was locked up. Jammed in the steering of that vehicle was the ratchet.

Sappo569 posted:MY2012 was that strange period between their old look and their new look, the interiors were still pretty lackluster. They did a face lift on the exterior but didn't really touch the interiors much The new C-class (w205) has a nicer looking interior, granted, but everything inside feels cheaper and less solid.

Zopotantor posted:I was told in the army (Germany, 30+ years ago) that the Russians used 7.62 so that they could use NATO 7.62 rounds they picked up, but that their own rounds had some feature (changed grooves or similar) that made them unusable in our guns (G3, at the time). I have no idea if that was true, but I always thought it was stupid to let that happen. The Russian 7.62x25 caliber pistols can fire German 7.63x25 Mauser ammo, but not the other way around (ww2 era) I’ve never heard of interchangeability between 7.62 nato and any other Russian calibers.
