Help with timing, after HG replacement.... Posted by JustinHiFi [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Hey guys, I recently did the HG on my 9k (I know I could go to the 9k board, but getting the timing set is the same on 900 or 9k :-)
Before I began, I rolled the car in 5th to TDC. Where the little knob on the flywheel was at the mark, and the arrows on the cam holders pointed right at the marks on the cams. I pulled everything apart, took the head into machine shop and had them check for cracks (none) and plained it. I put it all back together, and was very careful to be sure that the marks were dead on, on both the flywheel and cams; when I installed the cam sprokets and chain tensioner. She has spark and is getting fuel.
I did a compression check, and in #1-0psi #2-0 #3-30 #4-60
Given these figures, i would assume that the valves are bent...but how? Is there anyway to check that, or any other possibilites before I need to pull the entire thing apart again? I just checked the marks, and things are DEAD ON. At TDC, the cylinder @ #1 is at the top of it's travel...correct?
Thanks, ANY info or help is great!
