OK SO FOOT IN MY MOUTH !


so i have verified fuel and spark so far. so i went back and checked my timing and i think i figured it.

In this 1ST pic you see it's at 10 Degrees before TDC

When the Crank Pulley marks 10 Degrees before TDC this is how my cams aline .

I would be very reluctant to think its my timing or compression, as its my pride and joy (Engine) Trust me i check it religiously. and there has been no issue since i place the engine in the bay. Its got to be something i unplug or something when i dropped the transmission.

OK SO FOOT IN MY MOUTH !



" I have read on here that when an engine sits for a bit (my case over a month), that the tensioner relaxes (due to failure/ worn out) and can cause you to skip timing. "

seems to be my case. Timing was dead on before i dropped the tranny.

Another NOTE. the belt is on tight as of right now. So it must have relaxed enough to skip but then must of tensioned it self after a few cranks.

i did serve 2 tours in iraq and 1 in afghanistan.

Awsome, I was in Norther Invasion of Mosul 08-09 OIF3,
And Drawdown Basra/ Tallil 11-12 OND

Bottom end don't look too bad.

I bet the head's ####ed.

 

[miliman13]

Yea, rollers/rockers fell off, so some valves aren't sitting correctly , so bent

Turns out my starting issue was much more than i though.

No do not reuse the HG it is toast on #3 exhaust side, the black burnt area. Do not go back with a MLS HG, get a Fel_pro or OE composite. I see a couple things that concern me on the block deck.

Wipe the bores down with oil and cover with a plastic bag to help prevent rust.

Get a good pic of #3 bore on the exhaust side, the gasket surface. also get a Pic of the HG side of the head.

 

[Sebba]

Bogus, what are you seeing on the bottom end?

And what is this lill hole to? does coolant or oil travel through there, and what could be that lill clutter in there. And should i be concerned ? PIC of PISTON 1

The little hole is a water port. could be some paper gasket material floating around in the water jacket. Poke it with a pick or wire, fish it out if you can.

It also may be some cast flashing from when the block was made.

The area circled in red is my concern, this area could be low or distorted. Proper clamp force on the HG could be an issue.

This is why I recommend the use of a composite HG over the MLS

The black is burnt gasses making its way into the coolant jacket

 

[Sebba]

Time to get it decked.

 

[miliman13]

AHHHH, Now i understand, pics really help. Yeah ive heard MLS HG are very stubborn and must be perfect. Good to know, and thanks Bogus. Should i coat it with copper spray ?
