My 182 on Rolling Road.

How far did you drive it without the cam seal in!!? They don't fire oil out under main gallery pressure.

Megane pistons are still liable to cracking ring lands, even more so if different fuel has been used to when it was mapped. Do it right do it once imo. Forged build or not atall.

I'm not sure, not far as I only went to Tesco's and back, 4 miles there and 4 miles back, car started juddering/missing when I was nearly home, pulled over seen the oil everywhere and got towed home.

Sorry but It had lost the oil before that then, 4 miles loosing 4 litres you'd have smelt it, cabin would've been full of smoke from it hitting the exhaust and you've have been able to follow your oil trail back to tesco. Even a failed crank oil seal won't loose 4 litres in that amount of time. Having popped a cam seal out When my piston went, know it makes a mess but doesn't loose anywhere near that amount of oil.

Thats how much oil andy told me i lost, I'm going by his word, he told me it took 4l to fill up, when the car was picked up from mine by Andys recovery man, there was a massive oil puddle under my car, I'm not happy at all by the situation and I have no reason to lie.

There was an oil trail one mile from where I was broke down all the way to my garage where I had been towed by a friend, it might have gone on longer but I didn't check.
