Long story short, timing belt popped and had some bent valves. Replaced said valves (five) and then proceeded to put car back together. Did my valve adjustment as stated in the service manual, and she started right up. Walked away while the engine warmed up and heard what sounded like my laundry machine. Came back into the garage to find the engine shaking a bit.

Replaced spark plugs and wires, don't know what's up. No vacuum leaks. Any ideas? Car doesn't do it cold, just after a few miles on the road, car hesistates and loses rpms randomly. Help!

 

Valves adjusted too tight. You have one or more valves leaking causing a mis.

 

Thanks man. Gonna have a pro look at it this weekend. Do you know if driving with the stutter will cause damage to my engine?

 

Do you have the balance shaft lined up correctly?

 

Probably not... only set cam and crank at tdc

 

If the balance shafts were out of time it would occur at all speeds and at all engine temps. Read: Constant issue as long as the engine is running.

 

Just redo your valve adjustment.
