Recovering from bore wash. Experiences, solutions, advice needed..

[turquise1]

Hello,

I am trying to restart my X5 4.4 01 after a bore wash caused (first) by fuel pressure regulator then using wrong advice by doing WOT (clear flood mode which apparently does not apply to my DME and would simply flood the chambers more and wash out every bit of oil) which resulted in scary incidents such as fire out of intake and exploding air filter box etc.

Now I have almost no compression in any cylinder. I have tried most of what I have read on forums like putting oil in each sp hole and cranking continuously to hopefully establish compression and get the car to start. I just can not seem to get much compression restored by putting oil in sp holes because of the angle of each cylinder simply piling the oil at the bottom and not covering most of the cylinder even after cranking with sps out. I have also tried fogging oil.

I can not pass 30 psi with oil method. The cylinders each had around 180 psi before this problem. I have also done a leak down test and almost all of the leak happens thru cylinders and not valves (no bent valves either).

I have done the timing again and the car has no errors reported right now.

I am hoping to hear from people who had this experience and were able to restart (whatever the technique may be)..

Thanks,

Ozzie
