    I feel your pain Nick, been there done that. Before you go all 'kamikaze' on the seller (if you did not already) double and triple check EVERYTHING to ensure nothing was overlooked. Absolute zero compression on all 4 cylinders does not seem likely unless there is a serious problem. I am not taking sides in any way but overlooked things in the past and did not realize it until after creating an unnecessary shitstorm.....

    Inspecting more. Thinking some how cams are 180 off. Switched them now. We do not know how this happened. Update to come

    With the cams adjusted 180* no changes. Still zero compression.

    Don't know if it had compression before I got it. So that's not the case. And I hope your just being a smart ass.

    Just got off the phone with Keith. He's standing by his word. So time to pull it back out. Strip all the new shit off of it and bring it back. In the mean time time to get the original block and head to a machine shop to be fixed.

    I miss having a car to drive.

    Did you ever find the cause of the first failure?

    Yea we did actually. Thats the motor i am goin gto take in to get fixed.

    1 and 4 have play. at TDC you can push them down. So guessing rod bearings. 1 also tapped a valve. You can see the mark on the piston, but not on the valve... So guessing it is bent.

  19. #79

    After talking on the phone with john at Motorsports Machining about repairing the original engine. He seems to think with that amount of play on #1 and #4 cylinder, it is likely that i may need a new crank, maybe a rod, and the cylinders might need to be bored, depending on inspection. So.. That would also mean new pistons.... Oh yea, and bearings, rings, valve(s) etc....

    This is getting worse and worse
