fess up. what happened ?


have you put everything right and rechecked for compression ? i can't believe all eight cylinders have zero compression. that doesn't seem right.
Replaced the timing chain. Well, I went ahead bought a top gasket set, and 16 new shiny valves .

Dads going to start stripping out the stuff tommorrow; i have to work.

So I did it, 8 bent intake valves and 8 bent pushrods. No piston damage and while having the motor pulled apart it looks pretty clean, which is always a good thing. Going to start putting it together tommorrow night.
