:cry::cry::cry:

Ok just got finished putting some antifreeze and (Royal purple)purple ice into my radiator. I cranked the car and it turns over, it cranks, i rev it to about 4.5k to 5k and screetch there it went. Oil on the ground and metal shavings:notgood: I was so happy after a whole month i was going to drive my car again. What the hell. I jacked the car up and turned the crankshaft clockwise and it wouldnt move. I turned it counter clockwise and it would move. Im goin out now to remove the timing cover and see whats actually going on. I hate it but i love it.:D Ok see you guys in about 4 mins
 
jumped timing. The damn tensioner pulley is the culprit. I pulled the valve cover and 3 rocker arms are off(bent valves). I just done a valve job not even 5 days ago..The marks on the tensioner pulley are at 8'o clock and 6'o clock. Oil pump is free, didnt lock up.

whats the torque spec for the tensioner pulley?
 
That really sucks man. So where did the oil on the ground come from? Did it blow a rod apart?

The center bolt on the pulley?

31-40ft-lbs
 
Im runing a 16g and feeding it off the head. Theres a little like hole on the front of the head right beside the original feed head for the 16g except its on the front of the motor. Some jack nob threaded the hole, i dont know what thread size it is. I've bought so many bolts metric and standard to fill it but none of it didnt work. Im goin to take some pictures. now im just debating about selling it or redoing the head again(valves). And hopefully they didnt decide to dig into my pistons

yes the center bolt. Thanks man, i believe mine was no where near it.

Ok heres the pics. The first one is the bad valve, well where the rocker arm fell off, and theres two other loose ones. The second one is where that hole is(the bolt that is sticking out. That bolt size it m10x1.25

Heres the turmoil:D:D

Sounds like the oil pump locked up.

the valve that broke left a cracked valve guide. How dangerous is it to leave it in lik normal. its the last thing thats stoping from selling it and getting another:sneaky:. whats the best option??
