Some Help Broke Down :(

<< < (4/22) > >>

GVK:
Just for a compression test I wouldn't bother with the coolant/fuel lines if they are all off , I would disconnect the fuel pump under the rear seat. You'll only need to crank the engine for 5-10secs each cylinder.

Put the mount back on with a couple of bolts.

pudding:
Oh dear.  15 teeth off is quite likely to have resulted in the valves getting intimate with the piston(s).  A compression test when it's retimed will confirm.

dazza:
The cam sprocket is 2 teeth away from the mark but when I try and line it up it springs back to 2 teeth away.

Now it's sprung forward a quarter turn..

Going to take the valve cover off.

dazza:
I started to remove the head. But I was thinking maybe it would have stayed at tdc if I removed the plugs?

What should I be looking for now the rocker cover is off?

GVK:
I'd remove the cams and check the rocker arms that are under the cams for cracking/damage, then remove the head and check for bent valves, you may see that some of the valves aren't sitting right with the cams out.
