sand noise? post video -----

also wtf man just download the helms manual, with the dohc the timing marks should meet each other at the centre right? sounds like you need to adjust teh valves, before you start that ----, try turning it over with the wrench or something, its also helpfull if you yank the plugs and put a long screwdriver in the cylinder and then turn the engine over by hand to find tdc.

----, just call me god dammit, you got teh pm.

compression/leakdown test?

Re: timing problems! see post 8
 

dont know what a leak down test is (i fail miserably) but ill get a compression test up asap

btw the head gasket didnt set from one end.. its leaking a bit of oil.. but when i ran the car the leaking didnt turn into gushing or anything.. lol infact i think the leaking slowed down.. i guess it was a bad head gasket that came with the car :-\

i will prolly pull the head later to redo this ----.. thats if i dont sell the fucker and get it over with first..

i can still win by selling the mounts for 100.. the head for 5-600 the block for 3-400 and the rolling shell for 600 on a bad day

i guess ill pick up a cometic.. lol

i fail at life.. but hey.. i got timing within a ---- hair.. and the car runs.. lol

pretty sure i dont own anything that will pick up the noise its making..

compression test coming soon.

signorelli. thanks. ill call you tomorrow.

i think im done for tonight.. got a 12 hour shift in less than 5 hours and im on no sleep.. lol

well first...what makes you think its running on two cylinders? are you pulling plug wires while it runs to see if there is a difference?

Re: timing problems! see post 8
 

yessir.. lol i pulled plug wires 2 and 3 and no difference..

can someone please tell me what the sand noise is... its exactly like sand hitting something metal.. i dont think anyones done it before.. but it also sounds like driving through a sand storm.. lol

Re: timing problems! see post 8

Re: timing problems! see post 8
