There is not supposed to be oil when you check through the oil cap...check the oil dip stick..the little white handle that says "engine" on it. that should be your oil. You have a blown head gasket and your oil may have been mixed with the radiator coolant (green/yellow liquid) which is why there is no coolant. Change the oil...it should require a 17 mm bolt. Take it too a local shop after that and have the head gasket replaced along with new coolant and another oil change.

 

yeah i checked my dipstick too, no oil.
it the cams suppose to be visible when opening the oil cap? shouldn't there be oil in there to lubricate all those?

 

Sorry was just trying ot help.

 

I know dipstick btw
yeah i checked it and no oil...

 

Sorry man, I figured you did.

Good luck and let us know!!

 

thanks alot man, I really appreciate it.
the oil on the dipstick only goes upto the tip of the stick.
not even the first notch

 

The turbo has a little shaftplay, I'm not sure whether it's normal or not. I checked on my stock turbo too, the movement on the GT30R is almost twice as much as compared to the stock turbo. I am not sure man.... what might have caused the problem anyway?? i've never run more than 22 psi on this turbo

 

anyone really familiar with turbo shaftplay?? please help me out

 

Most turbos have a small amount of shaft play even when brand new. It's hard to know what's OK unless you have had felt the play in lots of turbos. I'd definitely get the car trailered to RRE and have them take care of the rest. Guessing is never good especially when engine damage is imminent.

Thanks, i'll most probably tow my car to RRE if he's available to take my car in..

 

Dude think before u ask ur questions next time.. almost all of the question u asked is in ur owners manual.. Sometimes it pays to look up the info urself rather than just start asking people. BTW i am in no way making fun of u but seriously dude....

 

Do NOT tow your car, FLAT BED it!!! Towing your car will F up the drive system royally.

You checked your dipstick and there was no oil on it??? Flat bed your car to a mechanic asap. It sounds like you burned up all your oil and coolant from a blown head gasket.

 

I can't believe so many of you are giving this guy a hard time for looking for some help with an urgent problem on the car. If you don't want to help just move on and don't reply.

It does sound like probably a blown headgasket. The next thing to do would probably be a compression or leak down test. Assuming that the pressure is off in at least one cylinder, the shop will probably pull the head off. At that point, it will be obvious if the gasket is damaged. Before reassembling things with a new gasket, the shop will probably make sure that the engine deck is still flat and that the head isn't warped. If the head is warped, then a machine shop will need to machine it flat. This would be a really good time to install new valvesprings if you are planning to do that (or a ported head!). Also, obviously upgrade to ARP headstuds. The deck is probably okay, but if it's not that could require pulling the motor (unlikely to be needed).

You can blow a headgasket through any bad tuning that causes detonation/ping/knock. Too much boost can do it, but so can too much timing or too lean of an AFR, so your tuner may be to blame if the boost has been moderate. Also, you may have gotten a bad tank of gas.

I wouldn't drive it. As others have pointed out, coolant mixed in the oil can reduce the slipperiness of the oil and cause accelerated wear of your bearings. The less you drive it the better.

Good luck with getting everything back together.

 

mmm so they talk about turbo shaftplay in the manual?? oh I guess you became so knowledgable reading the whole manual eh? good for you
I dont read owners manual for this type of stuff... do they talk about smoke comin out of your tailpipes?? what about blown headgasket?? what about "how much boost i was running"? come on man, seriously I dont need your post here...
it is better for you to keep your comment to yourself if you just dont like what I ask about... alrighty dude?

OHhh sorry, I just noticed that you drive a lancer... That's probably why you dont get what i'm askin and I dont get what you're sayin... its like 2 different languages.. we can't connect bro... maybe your lancer's owner manual have all those stuff I mentioned above, but mine? I dont think so..

I'm sorry to other lancer owners, no offense, I just can't live with this type of poeple who will check owners manual when his engine blows and he think he's smart..

 

Thanks alot! I appreciate your help, I will most probably be taking my car on a flat-bed truck as the guy above you mentioned.. mm so far I only use 76 91oct gas, so the bad gas reasoning might not be it, i'm actually really not sure what has cause this problem.. maybe tuning.. not sure though...
Anyway, Thanks alot, I really like guys like you who help out people in trouble compared to those few who just love to **** people off...
good luck
