earlyrolla Regular Location: Perth Registered: May 2003	Re: bent valves Sat, 23 August 2003 13:40 Provided that the cam timing is now correctly set, TDC, both slots vertical (if it the same as the 18RG), then it is only a matter of performing a compression test. Get hold of a compression gauge, pull all the plugs out and test each cylinder one at a time (dry test). Record these values on some paper. Put a little oil in each bore and repeat (wet test). Usually the comps will be upwards of 130PSI a bore, obviously depending on the age of the motor and the static compression ratio run. Some 'tired' motors will get down to and below 120PSI per cylinder. Recently recond motors should be upwards of 170/180PSI per cylinder. The wet test should give similar readings to the dry (actually should be slightly higher because the oil helps to form a seal around the piston that will in turn increase the compression). If both tests come up with very low readings (close to 0PSI)then go back and hit the person who told you how to set the cams up [Report message to a moderator]
