hiya..
i'v been having a few problems you could say until tonight when something went pop! lol

i swapped to 3.0 cams on the 2.5 and after trying it with the timing near enough perfect i really did strive to get it spot on, which i did and tried starting it..quite a few times.. anyway it got to the point where i'd had the multiram on and off so fast i kept leaving the odd thing out like a vac pipe or air mass connector.
anyway got everything sorted out tonight,
started it and it wont idle, gets smoke coming out from at the back of a the plenum and when revved it sounded very meaty but when i took my foot off it'd drop slightly then go up slightly before dying and actually stalling unless i plonked my foot on the go pedal a bit.

anyway after quite alot of smoke cam off something decided to pop at which point i pooed myself, jumped out the car and watched it dump quite alot of what i think was water from the back of the engine... my first thoughts are hbv or very pesimistic...hg failure
the water was only getting milky warm after a few times of having it run with throttle but the oil was getting nice and warm (oily steam from the oil cap when i took it off if you get me)

thanks

think i might have the hbv off tomorrow and have a nosey at it and then maybe this week have the oil cooler off and see if it looks a bit fubar'd
