Ok so I had a bit of a pain the in the bum with the engine in this car.

Over the last couple of days it has used a bit of water, power is down, and is venting much more exhaust gas out of the rocker cover breather than it should be. I suspect that the head gasket has failed but would not know for sure unless it was stripped down to see.

Here's the deal, I need the car gone as I have something else lined up so am offering it to anyone who is interested for £1695.00 for the car as it is. I'm sure there is much more value in the parts if I were to break the car but it seem such a shame to break the car with all the rare JDM parts.

Really dont want to break it....

Not one of those filters that replaces the PCV tube?

Yeah one of those, I have to have one side open to atmosphere otherwise under boost it would pressurise the rocker cover

I didnt think that matters on low boost like below 10psi. But on higher boost alot of guys get new breather holes welded in the front of the cover.

No definitely cant have the air intake (non pcv valve side) of the breather plumbed into the intake as under boost the whole thing would pressurise. The reason why high boost turbo people run larger crank case breather is just because they need to vent more air to atmosphere so the more holes the better.
