Fixed... there was alot wrong with it but no bent valves thank god. He didnt check everything he said he did. The dizzy was bad, injector in cyl was not shooting so once it did get started it was running on 3 cylinders. And one of the gaskets were bad. So fun times lmao. Thanks for all the help...

Ok so i had him do one last test last night. I read somewhere you can check if the valves are bent by doing the below. 1. take valve cover off 2. get yourself a regular hammer 3. get yourself a 6" or 8" extension 4. you dont have to take the head off but you do have to take the cam caps...

Yep was running in another car from the guy he bought it from, even got to driver the car before pulling the motor.

I guess your right, i know he didnt add alot of oil when doing it but when i get there ill pull the head. He's not all that close to me so I have been trying to walk him though what to do to check different things.

yea but that really wouldn't explain how all cylinders would go from 30-50 two cylinders going to 150 and the other 2 bumping up to 90. If the valves were bent wouldn't the compression have stayed the same?

Ok afte fixing timing and doing the wet-test, compression went up alot. 150-130 in cyl 1-2, and 90 in 3-4. It sounds like it wants to start now though. Waiting for the vid. http://s709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/visching101/?action=view&current=civic.mp4

well deff try that today.

Ok well earlier today he did a compression test and got low # across all 4 cylinders. He said it was at like 50-80 through all 4. I then asked him if he checked the timing and he admitted he didnt really know how and sent me a pic of his cam gears I sent him a guide on how to check and...

I really hope there aren't bent valves, I feel bad for this kid cause he can never get a break. At first I thought he maybe wired something wrong or had put a sensor in wrong, cause when searching for similar problems I found a thread where someone put i think there tps and map backwards and it...

I am pretty sure they are, but will double check his work when i check out the car tomorrow.

All thats good... Only thing he was not able to test was compression, but hes checking that tomorrow.

Alright trying to help someone out. A friend just recently swapped a b16a2 into his EK hatch and cane seem to get it started. I guess i should provide some info... Its a b16a2 with a gsr trans. chipped p28 with stepdown harness new thermostat new mishimoto colder fan switch new bosch spark...

to the top... lots of pm's but no takers.

bumps
