Tightmopedman9 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 The engine is in the car! Hopefully I can get everything bolted up and turn the key tonight. I don't think I'll get it started tonight but I'd sure like to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tightmopedman9 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Done with new intercooler piping, now I need to work on the intake. Its going to be a long night... Wondering what this connector is: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
831t5r Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Thats for the ac compressor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightmopedman9 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Ha, won't be needing that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightmopedman9 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Cranked for a while without the coil to circulate some oil,plugged the coil back in and she won't start. The engine sounds weird while cranking. The first time I cranked it I thought that the engine wasn't even turning, the engine turning had no 'umph' to it; I thought maybe the bendex wasn't engaging the flywheel. Upon confirmation the cams were turning. The cams are still making that god damn clicking noise too Since I'm by myself I had to make a video to check the spark. I'm uploading it now and will post the link when done. You can hear how the engine sounds in it. What else should I check? I know it is getting fuel to the rail. Should I pull the injectors and see if they're shooting out fuel (it seems too messy).

lookforjoe Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Doesn't sound like you have any - that's with all the other plugs installed except the one you were checking spark with? Most probable cause would be cam timing, unfortunately. do it dry & with oil added to check for ring wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightmopedman9 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Waiting for a ride to the autoparts store. I set the cam timing with the Volvo tool so I doubt it would be off. I tried to take a peek inside the cylinders and I'm not sure, but I think I may see some marks on the piston. If it had been valve collision I would expect the piston to look somewhat shiny in the areas where they collided, but the cylinders are still all black.

Tightmopedman9 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 0 PSI in all cylinders. When I had a friend crank it I noticed that the VVT gears were moving in and out about 2 mm. I took the covers off and tightened the VVT cam bolts by 45°. I'm guessing that the hubs weren't properly loaded? I took off all the ignition components and eyeballed the timing, everything seemed in check. Since I only eyeballed it, the timing could be off by a tooth or two. Would that be enough to give me 0 compression? Could it still be a timing issue or should I start pulling the head?

lookforjoe Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 What torque did you originally set the VVT center bolt to? It's supposed to be around 80something ft/lb, if I recall correctly. If they were set to spec, I don't think you would have got an additional 45 degrees out of them. I would set the crank to the pointer, and see where the cams sit. Use a straight edge to check the slots are level with the crank set. Any chance you got the intake & exhaust cams reversed (dual or single VVT)? Edit: to get Zero compression, I'd say the cams would have to be so far out of time that the chances are good you have all bent intake valves, otherwise there should have been some compression at least. Hope I'm wrong, for your sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightmopedman9 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Dual VVT I torqued them to the correct torque. When I got the 45° it was just a quick turn with very little resistance, not like I was tightening that much more. I'll go do a more accurate check of the timing. As for reversing the intake and exhaust, possible but not plausible. I'll check again. Intake above, exhaust under, right? How far would timing have to be off to cause zero compression? Could it just be off by a few teeth? Edited December 18, 2012 by Tightmopedman9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightmopedman9 Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Alright, I checked the timing, accurately this time. The intake was slightly retarded, by like 5°, I fixed that but still zero compression. I'm assuming the worst, and will be taking the head off tomorrow. Before, I will talk to my indy Volvo guy in my area and see if he would mind taking a look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
