on the distributor.. you dont need spark to have compression. :P but yes... spark timing is correct.

and the wedge thing? turbozcteg?? the timing mark for my cam pully is a hole that lines up with a dot on the last cam journal cap where the seal is placed. and it lines up every other tdc crank rotation.

if your intake cams off then your timing will be off because the rotor spins off the intake cam

tripple check everything and make sure its cool. retorque your head studs and everything. and if its not pull the head back off to make sure everythings cool

i have reinstalled it twice. i am considering all possibilities before i reinstall the head again.. on 5th gen celicas, 5sfe's are a pain to remove the head. But thanks for the advice.

mycrx

it doesnt

penguininatux

yup.. 5th gen celica 2.2 5sfe engince code. dohc but with one cam gear.. and a subgear to move the exhaust cam the opposite direction. if that helps at all.. do u know something u have to do on my setup?

penguininatux

okay.. so i said earlier that i was pretty sure that the intake cam was screwy, because i was getting puffs of air out the intake manifold. So i was thinking..

the four cycles

1.)intake
2.)compression
3.)explosion
4.)exhaust

NOTE: THE TIMING MARKS WERE PEFECT. BUT I DISREGAURDED THIS IN ORDER FOR MY EXPERIMENT. AND YES I HAVE A NON-INTERFERENCE ENGINE.

the intake vavles seemed to be opening at cycle 2 (compression). Which was one cycle too late or (retarded). So i advanced the valve timing accordingly: because 2 rotations, or 720 degrees of the crank was all 4 cycles,AND 2 full roations of the crank = 1 full rotation of the camshaft pully (360 degrees). So to advance my valve timing 1 cycle is 90 degrees on the cam pully. I did this. Now i have compression =],

but how is that possible for the timing marks to get off?!!]

and the spark timing is now off because the distributor attatches to the intake cam, and it is not alined with the timing marks?!

ANY THOUGHTS FROM SOMEONE WITH A MORE EXPERIENCED MIND THAN MY 16YR OLD BRAIN?

Thanks again.

just one more thing is your friring order correct just for ***** and giggles cause I have feelin thats wrong too

penguininatux

firing order is correct, but spark timing is all off because i advanced the intake cam which is attatched to the distributor.

and if it helps at all there is about 70psi of compression.. but if you take into consideration that the gauge and things can be off by a little. i would say about 80 ish.. which is about half of what it should be.
