Because you read it before some else doesn't matter, but if we all read it at the same time and you were the first to do so then it would matter. The fact of the matter is just by going what he said in his first post any good tech would know that it is not a fuel or spark issue and it is only effecting the #1 cylinder. So from what we know from just that one post is he has no compression in the #1 cylinder. Since the rest of the cylinders are firing that means that he must have a bent valve in his #1 cylinder on the exhaust side. If it was intake then he would also have the number 2 intake bent, but since the number 2 cylinder runs that means it is a number 1 exhaust.TheRealNap0le0n wrote:I'm a mechanic by profession actually.... and how was anything i posted stupid. especially since i was the first one to tell him to do a compression test.....
This is the question that put you on my list. Even if the rings were in upside, lined up, or not even in the motor would still have some compression. You also said cam timing wouldn't cause this. Actually it can since it is a zero clearance engine and bad cam timing will cause valve to piston contact and bend the valve.TheRealNap0le0n wrote:stupid question but did you line up the piston rings on cylinder one? cam timing wouldnt cause one cylinder to be dead. maybe it would cause the whole motor to be low but not like i see it.
How much was taken off your head to achieve 210psi? Did you make adjustable cam gears to compensate for the timing?
