No luck, can’t get the valve spring out and now I’m thinking it may have dropped a valve seat that’s wedged holding the valve open. If I have to run it Asis until I get a set of heads is it better to unplug the coil and injector?
Feeling it may be or a lot of carbon and week spring. We know tonight I plan to swap the spring, valve seal and lifter while trying to free up the value with some sea foam once the old valve seal is out. fingers crossed
With allot of looking it may1/8th lower than the next cylinder both with no cam pressing on the rocker. Could that be carbon build up holding it open? What are my odds a new lifter, injector and snapping the rocker on knocks the carbon off and she runs like a champ?
Best I can measure they are the same. My best option I feel is to install a new lifter, new injector and pop the rocker back on then check compression praying it exists. Even if it’s other issues I can’t pull the head and it was running on 5 cylinders enough for what I plan to do with it getting...
Don’t disagree however with this broken injector and a couple others it will need those. Should I pull the valve spring and check the valve isn’t stuck before putting the rocker back in?
Also on the same cylinder I found the injector was missing the plastic around the base. The rubber o ring was intact but missing the hard plastic. I just ordered 6 injectors and one lifter.
I’ll try to measure. Should that lifter compress and spring back? Before I snap the rocker back in I’m thinking I need a lifter. Can it be soaked In sea foam and come to life?
This can’t be good. So cylinder 6 with the dead compression has a missing rocker arm??? Farthest back valve. This can’t be good. Is it possible this is the source of the dead cylinder that the plug is covered in oil?
Pulled the intake to redo that gasket. In order this is what’s in the head or Intake runner. 1-2-3-4-5-6 is it possible that number 6 is so dead it had zero compression?
Did find a camera and number 6 is ugly inside. Rust spots, oil etc. the plug is oddly colored now after a couple days of use. Also it pulled no compression which is surprising it shows zero.
What if the lean number 5 plug is air getting in the underside of the intake leaning it out? I sprayed around the top and back but didn’t test in under the intake if that’s possible.
Cleared codes and drove it today. Came home with code p0175. Rough idle and stumbles at a stop but seams smooth under normal throttle. I read it might be a vacuum leak so just sprayed brake cleaner all over the intake with no luck. Also found a shutter in the ****** or converter at low rpm in...
So I’m driving her the next two days to see what happens. I cleared the codes. Interesting I knew it had a head gasket leak on the exhaust side but small now with number 6 let’s say working better it’s blowing smoke in startup. It makes me think that greasy number 6 plug was not working at all...
Swapped starters. It was the battery. Even jumping it from another car it would not kick over only spin the bendix. Gave up trying to compression test number 6. Charged the battery, put all the plugs back and the new mopar coils, put the injector fuse back in and it fired right up. Sadly it’s...
Surging at start idle from 1k to 1,300. It is on cold start but in the garage so not freezing temps.
I almost got the compression test done when the started went out. Spins no crank. So far on 5 of them the results are mostly normal at 120~130 number 5 however came in at 90 and is the odd...
Getting close to the end of my rehab project and thought it just needed 02 sensors with codes. At the pages direction I went ntk but found it surging at idle so went with the factory new iac and tps now it’s getting better but still surging at idle. I did some plugs as well to the Ngk as...
