Guest Removed Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 just pull the head off and replace the damn valves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 if i knew what i was doing and felt like i could do that, i would. fact is this is the first car ive ever really worked on, and doing that timing belt last night (since thats basically what i did, only resetting the belt that was in there) was probably the biggest task ive tackled. i can get a new engine for this car for 350$ with 26k miles. i have a buddy who has a spare head (complete) i can get for cheap, but if i test it and get no compression and find out the valves are bent, im just gonna put a new engine in since im sure the pistons will have some damage. no sense in pulling the head to put a new one on and find out the pistons are damaged josh - im gonna head over and grab shawns tonight. i appreciate the offer...btw, where is your new place? is it between broad/havens corner or is it south of broad?

smokin5s Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 off of Waggoner... Woods at Jefferson... (right before the railroad tracks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 also, just because you don't get compression doesn't mean the head or valves are bent... it could be that you didn't put the belt on right also since you said you did that last night.

evan9381 Posted July 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 belt is on correctly. as for compression, i got the gauge from shawn, came back 0-0-45-0 on the first time around, and 0-0-60-0 the second time around. new motor will be ordered on the 28th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
