valves again

[9clipse0]

ok i just finished putting my 95 talon back together for the second time in two weeks. i bought the car with 6 bolt and second gen head and crap. found a 1st gen head and got it checked out and tested and it checked out fine. put it on got it running. drove it for a day and a half. ripped on it and let it cool for a bit and turned it off. wouldnt start next time. checked everything then pulled the head. all the intake valves were bent. timing was fine, didnt jump or anything like that. valves get replaced and car gets put back together again. drove it for a day and a half and the same thing happened again tonight. didnt rip on it this time but just parked it to go eat and came back out and it wouldnt start. the first time this happened i drove it and started it back up prob around 20 times. this time it was closer to 30 prob. timing was fine again this second time. i am stumped. what else could it possibly be?

When you assembled the head did you mix up the cam towers? Did you turn the cams by hand without the cam followers?

What have you been doing to adjust the timing belt each time?

I suspect you don't understand how to adjust the belt tensioner.

Or he left the drill bit in the hydraulic unit and he's maxed out on the eccentric.

i believe everything was right. i will double check it all again as soon as i can. if it is all right, what else could this possibly be?

did you bleed the lifters?

Did you Swap out/Mix up the CAMS?

It would be tough to swap the cams only the intake is notched for the CAS.

GSX97AWD is correct...if you dont bleed the lifters,look out.
