[QUOTE="AngelOreo, post: 5322623, member: 43642"] OK.. So I had that very odd tapping noise if you all recall from a previous thread. Well, we had diagnosed it to a timing chain issue. Great.. So I take the car to Jason's to get her fixed. I figure hey.. we know the valve seals are blown.. let's check the compression while we are at it just for giggles. Well.. cylinders 1-6 are great.. anything from 160-180. Great right? Well.. As we are checking #7, I see some groaning and confusing pop up on Jason's face. Clearly something is wrong. Fine.. He obviously figures something was strange so we went to cylinder #8. Wow.. great news.. Cylinder #8 comes in at 179 twice. Awesome.. so back to #7.. well.. after 3 tried.. #7 comes in at a depressing 115. Eep.. So.. morning comes and we figure.. lets put some oil in there. Perhaps it's just the valve stuck.. we already know they need work. Well.. with a little oil.. the compression jumps up to 179. sigh... so much for getting off cheap. It seems that along with a timing chain\guide\tensioner.. and a valve job.. we are doing rings.. yipee!! :cuss: So anywho.. we get the engine apart.. see the two pics below for the timing chain issue..and we find what in cylinder #7.. anyone.. anyone.. NOTHING!! Bet you did not see that coming. Head gasket was perfect.. the cylinder walls were seemingly perfect. No obvious sign of damage anywhere.. Your guess is as good as mine. Anywho.. the point of this whole post was to et you up to speed with my engine tap that started last December. I also want to thank Jason of'course, and everyone else who helped out Saturday, even if all you did was try to get my Longtubes from me. *pokes 01lowboy* Anywho.. as I said.. I have two pics of the timing chain below.. see if you can find the problem chain. [ATTACH=full]735740[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]735741[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
