Well,,, i have another drama.
This one has stumped a few mechanics at my workplace now. (possibly because im not relaying the right information)
Basically, i had it running on 3 cylinders...
Has fuel to the rail and spark at each plug.
Checked compression- #4 and #3 had 180psi, #2 had 175psi and #1 had ZERO
Checked again and same results, so i checked again.... same same.
Valve must be stuck open or i blew a hole in a piston somehow when i screwed the timing...
So i pulled the head off again, checked for holes in pistons or valves, nothing... all as good as the day it was made.
Pulled the valve springs out, thought maybe a spring had broken (long shot but im out of ideas) and nothing wrong with them either.
Checked the piston was still connected to the conrod, and its all good, all 4 still pumping like a 14 year old looking at his first porn mag.
aside from the head or block being warped, which i checked with a straight edge and seems fine to my untrained eye... i have no fucking idea what has caused a total loss of pressure in one pot...
Any ideas lads???
