hey guys i bought an original vlt manual berlina 2 weeks ago and when i was changing over the oil i noticed the intercooler silicon was loose so i bought a new clamp and fixed that, i could feel it pull sooo much harder and on the way home i think i blew somthing in the engine, coolant was leaking and a vaccum hose came off Fixed all of that and now it blows smoke when in first gear, sometimes goes bang and 1 big bowl of smoke comes out and something rattles in the engine when i hit 4k rpm+ while in 2 and 3 gears, prob aswell in 4 & 5 but havnt tried. Can some one direct me to a mechnic that knows his rb30det's and is close by in the Unley area. and if the engine is gone should i got for a rebuild of engine replaced? and roughly how much would it cost. Thanks guys come guys any help would be great, any good mechinics that know there rb30dets around unely, marion area?
