Buggered idle, oil everywhere & general knackerdness

[Anonymous]

My car is playin up at the mo, dont idle, oil comin out from everywhere (fuel pump, 1 head bolt, dizzy, crankcase & so on), think head gasket mite have gone, not 100%, usin normal unleaded, had loads of bother, went thru 4 carbs, not helped.

I think the oil thats leaking from the head bolt has killed the inlet manifold gasket, cos i think it may be sucking in air, which would explain the irratic idle?

Any ideas wot it mite be? Doin my nut in, its a 1400SR, weber carb, K&N, no other engine mods.

I was thinkin bout adding a head & cam and also in the back of my mind, balencing the bottom end, will these help, or cause more bother?

Cheers NovaBods.

sounds like high crankshaft pressure to me and it sounds like all gaskets have gone.

could be a big job m8 if it is pressure cos all gaskets for mentioned parts above will need changed and ull need to torque up bolts bang on.

sorry if im speaking shite and if i am the mechanic lads will tell ya otherwise.

are your oil levels ok? not too much oil in car?
