Thanks for posting up this info. I want to bypass the coolant from the EGR to determine if that is where I'm getting exhaust gases in the coolant. I can clearly see the pipe from the water pump, but not sure where the outlet is at the rear. Hoping it's not an internal connection to the head. I've looked for some diagrammatics for this but no luck. I know you later removed the inlet manifold/egr cooler so hoping you would know where the coolant outlet is on the EGR cooler. If I can do this then re-test to find no gases in the coolant I will then do the EGR delete as you have done. Thanks in advance for any advice.
@MountainmanBuildzКүн бұрын
Yes. The coolant comes through the head out the to the egr and then out by a small pipe on the intake. If you getting gasses in your coolant, it could much rather be headgasket blown or head cracked. Not a nice one to diagnose and fix unfortunately
@arcoecoКүн бұрын
@@MountainmanBuildz Thanks for your reply. That's going to make it harder to bypass for sure. I had a new motor put in the car 12,000 km ago. Local mechanic has done testing and believes the head gasket is intact and that the cooler has corroded over 20 years and now allowing gases to get into coolant. Sounds like a pain to fix either way.
@MountainmanBuildzКүн бұрын
@@arcoeco maybe take the intake off and pressure test the port and coolant pipe to see if it leaks there. If it does, you could easily fix it with another intake. Or even cut the egr valve part off, blank both sides and add a vakve to bypass the coolant line there

I cannot assist you with the smoking, but the "death wobble" can be cured. I print a lot of front stabiliser bushes for MAN trucks on behalf of a well known big company and they last longer than the original parts. I use CCTREE TPU95 with 100 infill and they work great. BTW, I also print these bushes for fork lifts, golf carts, racing cars, and a great variety of vehicles. Try it if you wish. Oh, and for the Jeep I have printed side mirror mounts in PETG-CF and they also work great. 😀

Ok, ignoring the part where I was scratching my head and wondering what material you printed with, I do have a couple questions (bear with me, I'm a mechanical idiot) 1. if its over fuelling, can't you get the injectors tested? I believe it's a flow test and I remember something about certain injectors you can replace the tip, just the tip. 2. compression test to confirm oil isn't pushing past the rings? and lastly.. 3. I think that jeep has been parked too close to Land Rovers and learned the bad habit of leaking oil (I owned a Landy years ago, I knew it was low on oil when the leaking stopped)
@MountainmanBuildz5 күн бұрын
Hahaha, love it! 1. Injectors was tested on bench and in another jeep and was 100% 2. I must probably do a compression test, but I dont have those tools. 3. Bloody land rovers! I cant even find the oil leak origin....

Like u Press the gas pedal and nothing happens for a second and after that it get a Power but behind me I cant see any shit... Greta will gonna kill me 😂. I got some hints your should try ...at 1. I started with turbo I send it for rework cause i found a lot of oil after rework there was no change with smoke, 2. I bought a new airflow Sensor no change with smoke 3. I decided to clean and tighten pin holes on AFS connector no change effect 4. Hint - change the air filter 5. I flushed engine .... No change 6. I cleaned Up with Direct spraing of two cans directly to intake manifold ... No change 7. I checked the Inter Cooler for oil in ... There was nothing 8. I did bank test on injectors with relatively good result. Byť decided to clean them directly from Can i used 2cans ... No change 9. Took it to mechanic to test air Pressure from turbo to inlet... Good result. 10. Took it to anothet mechanic to check the problem and he found that my catalitic converter was cumulating Pressure cause was full of Carbon so he drill it with 4 holes. Aswell this Pressure Blow up my outlet gasket under outlet manifold so he replace it for new one. He told me that jeep is smoking much more less ... Sorry but i dont thing so. The problem still there. 11. Mine EGR ventil was Stick and vety hard to Press so i had to clean it and Also clean opposit surface of ventil ... Still smoke 12. Im gona try to instal catch Can 13. Im going to test the vacuum lines 14. Im going to test solenoids for managing turbo and EGR 15. Will be injectors 16.
