Jumped time?

[Lofty]

Okay. So my harmonic balancer seperated the other night.
The car ran fine when it seperated. The AC belt was wrapped behind the crank pulley. I cut the belt. I take off the pulley, notice it chewed a hole in the timing area, alright. So I was worried about that. Whatever. I go and put a new one on. Put the alt belt back on. I start it. Takes like more cranks than usual. Starts up, sounds nice, idling high, then it dies down real low, sputters, and dies. Now I try to start it, it just sputters and dies. What.. the ... happened...

Start with a compression test and leak down test. If it did jump time, there is a good chance your intake valves slammed into your pistons. Let's hope not...did you also verify your timing was correct?

Yep check your compression, that will tell you a lot right there.

Do NOT start it anymore and check all timing marks if they are off then pull the head and check your valves. Sounds to me like your timing is off

Yeah do that first...but if it did skip excessively the damage is already done.

I hate my life.


Thanks.

Your car was so fast, it actually jumped in time!

Well, if it jumped back to the future...maybe Lofty can prevent this?!

Do any wrenching yet?

Stop being a baby. Getcher ass out there and fix it. Just kiddin!

That, or I ran her out of gas.
My gauge cluster doesnt work, I took a hard turn the day the pulley broke, and it just about died. Probably lack of gash and sloshing around in the tank etc etc.
