Well.. You guys.. Bad bad bad night.. Went to perkins with some friends.. left dropped one off.. and was going home.. Decided to do some WOT.. Well it started misfiring so i let off.. and it started CHUGGING.. reallly really bad.. and the SES light was flashing at me.. it was still driving.. so i drove it home about 5-6 blocks.. it starts smoking.. i'm like FML its on fire.. so i blow 2 stop signs.. its 1:15a.m. and i get home and pop the hood to see oil EVERYWHERE on the belt side.. It LOOKS like oil is spewing from in between the LIM and the block.. if i blew that orange gasket right there would that cause a HUGE vac leak? I am going to do a compression test in the A.M. Just want to know IF There is a leak In between the LIM and the block would that cause a vac leak?

Cliff notes: Travis is having car issues, hoping he didn't pop a piston, Would having a major leak in between the LIM and the block cause a HUGE vac leak??

thank you for any immediate assistance..


I will be doing a compression test/leak test in the A.M.

Yes, a LIM gasket would cause a major gasket leak, but it wouldn't be a big source of oil, unless you DID pop a piston and that's where the pressure busted through, and the air coming out is forcing oil out too.

Pull your spark plugs. The one that's smashed down flat... that's probably the one with the chunk missing from the piston.

Sorry to hear it man. frown

(sorry to hear about this, Travis. Hope you didn't run the engine for very long without oil pressure.)

shocked And to think i'll be using it again lol

My oil light never came on. scratch

If i did chunk a piston.. I'm going to put in a N/A 9.4:1 block.. and use some head gaskets that will put it to about 9.7:1.. Moar Boost cool And Ill probably polish up the heads and put a XP cam in her.. BUT thats only if i roasted the motor.. If i did toast the motor I'm also going to have to get a winter beater... I'll just pull the motor and put it on a stand in the garage, than store my riv somewhere cool

I really hope so buddy... but this 9.7:1 compression build seemed pretty sweet!! Can you say 18lbs of boost??? From a M90+ spray? lol

banana I'm dreading going and pulling the plugs.. i don't wanna do it..

"Remove the ignition coil assembly ground strap from the fender inner panel attaching screws."

Copied the above from previous post on engine removal procedure.
Does anyone know where on the fender this is located.??? I only know about the ground lead right at the coil pack to block.
Just curios for future troubleshooting of bad grounds related to the coils. Could be important.

IIRC it's about a 10-12 gauge black wire runs up from the passenger side frame rail, within a foot of the firewall, up to the ignition module.

There are a couple other 'grounds that time forgot' under the rear seat passenger side and under the drivers side dash. Have not had a problem with the underdash one and I think it could be ignored pretty much. If you are ever under the dash to work on the ratchet for the emergency brake, mess with it then. However - I check and clean the one under the rear seat along with regular battery maintenance. If you have an OE battery, once a year to make sure the vent pipes are still on right and check for corrosion ought to be enough.

Albertj lol

might want to look for a stud or a used-to-be-a-stud on that frame rail.

So basically there are 2 grounds on the passenger side frame rail. A fat one goes to the starter and a smaller one goes to that wire.

Thanks again, Will do before it's too cold to do it.
I have neglected looking under my back seat for a loooong time. I'm over due for some preventive maintenance on electrical / ground connections.
Would like to put some EDead under back seat area while I'm there also.

Travis, I 'dinged' you for that one.

And on behalf of RIck and myself, sorry about jacking your thread to talk about grounds.

Anyway - when life gives lemons, make lemonade and sell produce. Thinking about it, this might be a good time to get a used SC engine and overhaul it then install it in your Riv. Just think... the engine that embodies all the wisdom, hints and tips for powering a Riv that is quicker than 13 sec in the 1/4 mile... since you're in for some work anyway...

maybe a local vocational school will do the work if you buy the parts..
