well,
i have a 92 awd turbo that i have had for about a year and have put about 2k into it so and have only driven it acouple times ! when we first baught it, it needed a ecu, so replaced that with a new one, then on the same day of getting it running the water pump went bad.. so while that was getting replaced we had the timming belt exc.. replaced.. get it back drive it alittle then it starts smoking really bad but it would come and go so... then the rack and pinion line busted so it has no powersteering.. so then we have a guy that works a shop temparily repair it but we have him pick the car up because hes a friend.. he brings it back and it sounds like crap and it is very loud in the head so i'm like wtf? so i kind new it was the timming from the beginning. so tear it apart fix the timming and it runs better but the valves were bent so i took the head off.. all of them were bent and have the head completly redone install it, replace the timming belt idler pulley, tensioner pulley, and checked the tensioner and all checked out fine! so we install everything and get it running great, drove it alittle but not much, this was last fall so we put it in storage for the winter and i start it up ever now and then... and now since its bin warm i have bin pulling it out and getting on my brother to get some tags for it so we can drive it( i drove it anyways without
) and it drove great. so yesterday tuesday my bro got tags for it and took it to work which is about an 1hr drive maybe more.. he said it drove great.. my brother works at a car places that installs sterio's basicaly any acessary for a car. so he didn't have to do anything yesterday.. i guess they were slow so he installed a kick but sterio system, and was going to get some rims. so he had everything done by the time he left work and looks pretty awesome the way its set up.. so he gets home fine but today he takes it to work again and drove fine but when he went out to go home it didn't sound good at all, like before when the timming went.. it might of bin like this the way there he said he doesn't know he had the radio blasting.. so he had to drive it home and i listen to it and it does sound like it jumped, you can hear tapping in the head and now the idle is bouncing.. we don't know what to do with this car it has to much miney into it now! and we planned on selling it very soon and now this happens, please tell me its somthing else or why this timming keeps jumping!!!!!!!! this cylinder head only has about 30 miles on it and has already jumped timming
