HELP!!!!

Recommended Posts

A buddy of mine drives a '95 Chevy S10 4 banger. He was driving down the road at about 35 mph and he heard a loud thump. The motor died. It will turn over, but won't fire. Any ideas on what it could be? Any thoughts on where to start would be helpful. The tow truck guy thinks it's a compression issue... you can take that for what it's worth. Does anyone have a compression checker that I can borrow... I dont' know where mine is. All fluid levels look fine. Any ideas?

well... it ended up being a busted timing chain.... about 4 hours later.... timing chain is replaced and the truck is running.... I'm surprised nothing else broke. I think he got lucky :D

I was thinking it was quite low. The chain tensioner on it was busted, so either that broke causing the chain to snap, or the chain snapping broke it.
