i started my car without knowing tht the timing belt is not on the cam pulley and after tht it didnt start even when i put the belt back on is there anyone who can help am i off timing or sumthing ? its a stock d series

 

set the crank to tdc and your cam as well, then put the belt back on. its very possible you annihlated your cylinder head though if the pistons came into contact with your valves.

 

 

Agreed How did you manage to not have your timing belt on? That's kind of hard to miss

 

lol agree^^^ what happened to double check your work????

 

bent valves or a hole through the piston...ouch hopefully you didn't do that kind of damage, but if you were cranking it a good while, prepare for the worst... Luckily that head is easy to work on/ replace etc...lol

 

i shouldve double check im gonna try to do the timing tomorrow now see what happens if not prob just get another motor im done with dual point ahaha

 

put the belt back on
set it to tdc
and dont even crnk it just

get a comp tester and test compression because its pretty good chance u got a cylinder with a couple bent valves or worse

gl though

 

<<<< releived thats its a d series haha

 

naw its not starting and i dont got a comp tester so i think im gonna go with another motor prob start off with single cam is anybody sellin one ?

 

Did you set the timing correctly? There is a fair chance that the motor is undamaged. Even with bent valves it will probably run if the timing is correct.
To summarize,
Step one: set timing correctly
Step two: compression test (~$20 at Autozone I would imagine)

 

idk lol cause im new at this still learnin so i guess i will try again

 

so if i do have bent valves am i gonna be able to see it if i take off the head again i meant like how should i check for bent valves

 

you will see marks where the pistons came into contact with the valves. you can actually rent compression testers and all your money will be returned once you bring it back.

 

^^^true
autozone rents them out

just take out the spark plugs and put the comp. tester in and crank the motor some times wot

as long as its making some number it should start up

 

yes they are like 20bucks at autozone
or pay 40 for a decent one at sears

and ive had a single cam runing with bent valves in two cylinders so make sure the timing is right and give it a go.

 

you set the belt wrong theres not way you bent enough valves on all cylinders for it not to start. if you pull that motor and wanna sell it for cheap let me know. there is ALOT of room in these motors. ive seen dozens of broken belts with no bent valves on Dseries.

 

i got it started guys finally i think it was just the timing thnx
