Re: Engine Noisy, died and wont start
Checked and no compression, took valve covers off from cylinder, timing OK. still not seeing any thing that really worried me. So need to get the head off.
the bolts on the exhaust studs are solid. I have been soaking them with wd40 this week. got at them with socket last night and the nuts like cheese. Started to turn them and the corners just came off. Got a smaller socket and hammered it on, same thing the bolts just rounded. So I will need to get them off and then I think I will get the head off and hope fully that will show me damaged or stuck valve. |

Re: Engine Noisy, died and wont start
As I say youll see a valve stuck open because its clearance to the cam will be much bigger than the manual figure...

Re: Engine Noisy, died and wont start
The studs on my front header were in a shocking state. They looked less like studs and nuts and more like rusty spikes with no discernible thread or nut. I didn't have the facilities at the time to change the front header myself so I took it to a local place who were very good and removed them without having to resort to drilling and retapping the head. They said that they managed to remove them with a combination of penetrating oil and heat.
