I'm gonna get a boroscope and see what the glow plugs look like on that side and see if I can look in there and see what's up
Yeah I think I'm gonna have to find a sponsor lol. Might as well send Henry his v2 back. Til I can fund a bottom end. I have pics and vids I'll post up. Looked like gravel in the turbine housing.
Sounds like a possible dropped valve.
I think you might be right.
Man that sucks! If I were close I would come help you out with the removal and tear down!
sorry to see its not something easy like the drain. good luck!
god I feel your pain man. I hope this doesn't cost you a fortune
I would pull the passenger valve cover. I'm betting it dropped a valve.
