Busta Nut Posted October 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Turns out..... .......an engine is not needed....... .....................he drove up here from Cal Poly because some shop diagnosed it as a bad valve in the head.... He brought it up on a trailer......got here about 7ish.... It still ran and didn't sound as bad as I thought...... ...........so I had him rip the valve cover off to check valve clearance........ Shocking........6/8 valves were waaaay too tight....... ....time to learn how to adjust valves........ Running....... :thumbup: :thumbup: ....much better....... ..........but as soon as I drop the idle to where it should......be it starts fuckin' up...... .........................carb dip tomorrow...

Busta Nut Posted November 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 :confused: Pulled the valve cover off and the spark plugs out to check timing marks.......... I put a ratchet on the crank bolt and started to spin it to TDC..... ..................I made it about 15* before I hit something solid............and it would not turn no mo....... So for shits and giggles I spun it back the other direction..........same shit........10-15* and BAM....solid......... Gotta getta hold of the owner and see what he want to do next....... Engine dismantling......numbers do match on this car :thumbup: .........or...... Engine swap................... Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 look at the cam lobe position when it loocks up. you know close to TDC the first 2 lobes will be in the 10 oclock and 2 oclock position. if not the look at the other lobes and maybe hitting a piston or cam sprocket was whay off whn install or not set to TDC when removed ect....... was motor apart then reinstalled and not running since then History would help trans out of gear ? llift up on jack to eleininate trans issue maybe the chain tensioner is wedeged/poped out jammed?

EastBay521 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 trans out of gear ? llift up on jack to eleininate trans issue maybe the chain tensioner is wedeged/poped out jammed? I doubt transwould be in gear. he works on cars for a living........... and in my experiences when a tensioner pops out the motor would bearely move 5* but im sure not every situation is the same.... 1 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 I know that Brian had it cranking, so who knows that the issue is with it hitting something solid. Quote Link to comment
