This only get worse, I towed my car to a shop today, Thinking it was the timing belt etc. It only got worse, they did a compression test, non of the pistons have compression at all, all 4 are dead :angry: Iam puzzled and so are the guys at the shop, they said they have never see such a problem like this at all. they did the compression test in front of me to just to prove it, still nothing. They said the crank is ok, I called the shop that I bought the motor from to talk to Jimmy he wasn't there so I have to call tomorrow. Have any of you guys/gals ran into this kind of a situation before? the timing belt looked good, but how the hell can a car not have compression on all 4 pistons?????????????? Its juts my f*ckin luck. he said he would have to remove the head to check for bent valves $350 to take the head out inspect it, and put it back :angry: my car is still at the shop, but I haven't giving the OK for them to remove it yet. Any ideas or suggestions? I know most of you will say, do the work yourself, I agree 99.9%, but I live in a apartment I cant work in the parking lot cuz the owner keeps on bitching at me for working on a car in the parking lot

 

Bump to the top

 

That is a bit of a problem. could flipping the cams do that?
Remember that 350 is only going to go up, if you have a garage you can use - tow your car there and make some friends. I'm sure there are some great peeps that post here, local to you, that will take apart your engine with you for 200$ and really help you diagnose the problem rather than rape your wallet.

 

One scenario that comes to mind would be that you totally over-heated it..
Drove it until it would not go any further and stuck the piston rings..

 

could a headgasket go bad ? idk man i never heard of this plm before

 

if u over heated it then the motor should blow right ?

Yah a headgasket can go bad, but not in my case, I didnt see any oil and water mixture in the radiator or the reserve tank.

 

No one has ever ran in to this kind of a situation before?

 

if the timing belt skipped a couple teeth it will do this.

 

have them reinstall the timing belt properly and then test compression again.

 

Chech out your timming belt position I had timming chain slip on a car and it lost comppression.

 

do i hear an echo?
