Cylinder 4 first to get air last to get fuel. When I had mine it had already had an engine replacement under warrenty previous owner my ownership I was onto my second engine after p4 went second engine I uprated the fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator with larger injectors and had Cylinder 4 slightly richer than the rest when I got it mapped p4 never went pop up to 280hp with a k04. Then I forged and hybrid ko4 went up to 300hp ran like a dream shame the m32 gearboxes are chocolate.
I'm working on an astra 1.4 club with z14xep engine...number 4 piston conrod shattered...got it all apart waiting for replacement. Its the first time I've work on an engine and just getting tips off you guys on TH-cam.. .What must I watch out for when putting bk together...cheers
@@godfreysautomotiveservices can I ask......putting the head back together today,,,but when I've put the new timing chain on..its really tight so tight the tensioner is hardly sticking out..what have I done wrong...everything is new guilds etc
Common fault on the corsa vxr just found out I've got p4 issue 105 psi all the reat are above 170psi I've been told it is the inlet manifold also injector number 4 can lean out I've been advised get them changed and fit bigger injectors probably stop it from happening again I'm going fully forge
Yeee but it will take time if the intakes the issue I'd look into changing the intake it makes sense because even with a forged engine it's still leaning out.
@@TwoSpanners thanks for reply I'm only wanting bigger injectors fitting because of piston 4 I've tried calling a few mappers about it but they don't seem interested.
Also I wouldn't offer any warranty on the repair as the Std pistons are not fit for purpose IMO......but many theories what causes it, it's like a minefield trying to pin point P4😂🤣😅.
A mechanic advising you don't do the job yourself 😂 well I never, just like a solicitor advising you don't write your own will becasue it's tooooo complicated and you'd be much better off paying them a fortune to do it for you 📝🙄🙃.
Repent to Jesus Christ! Are you a sinner? Luke 5:32 King James Version 32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Luke 13:3 King James Version 3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Romans 3:23 King James Version 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; You need to have godly sorrow for your personal sins that you have done, 2 Corinthians 7:10 King James Version 10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. You need to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and his finished work on the cross, Ephesians 2:8-9 King James Version 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Also, John 3:16 King James Version 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Then you need to call upon the Lord and ask him to save you, Romans 10:9-10 King James Version 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. If you do not get saved you will die in your sins, Revelation 20:15 King James Version 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Top man, another fix

Just make sure everything is torqued to manufacturers specifications and always replace any stretch bolts 👍

@@Northumberlandwoodlands just make sure the chain is sat in the guides correctly and not sat on the raised sides

Ah thank you for letting us know 👍 hope you get yours sorted soon!
Hi it's it better to put a new piston in or for one that has been used thanks
Greetings from Serbia, do you know the cause of the cracking of 1 and 4 pistons, I have the same problem
Hi...once the piston is replaced..the issue can come back?
Yeee but it will take time if the intakes the issue I'd look into changing the intake it makes sense because even with a forged engine it's still leaning out.
Do you know if you Can fit bigger injectors in these and then just code in or would you need a full remap? ,👍
I’m not sure on that one! Hopefully some one will see your comment and advise tho 👍
They need mapping in mate

How much would something like this cost????
Around £1000 👍
So then get an absolute steal of a piston 4 damaged corsa and give you a ring? Lol nice one
Anything Vxr use Nevlock Performance....also any advice the go to place😎.
Nice! Thanks for the info!
