My car is dead :(

So decided to check compression today and only had it in 1 cylinder.

No spark

Not running

I dont know wat to do

new engine

simple as that

it is new!

BHG?

Dizzy took a shit?

SR swap?

alot of peolpe say since it's more then 1 cylinder w/ no compression, that the arp studs may have came loose. I'm hoping that that is all it is

-I hoping that is the case as well. The only other reason that you would loose compression is if the valves aren't sealing or you skipped a tooth on the timing chain (highly unlikely). Of course the valves not sealing would not just suddenly happen it would be gradual. The head bolts could do that, seal fine when hot then loosen as the engine cools(aluminum contract a lot when it cools). It's not like your rings are all of a sudden not going to seal.

How do you all of a sudden have no spark? It obvious it not starting, but if you take the spark plugs out is there litterally no spark across the plug?

As for the rest of you nay sayers (new engine...SR swap?), huuush!

I have known that my valve stems were going bad because before i rebuilt, i was blowing smoke.

After i rebuilt, i was still blowing smoke. The valve seals are the only thing i didn't replace.

There is no spark at all across any plug, unless i'm just being retarded but i've tried grounding it and nothing. All 4 plugs going bad doesn't seem plausable.


Also, i had my stock oil p. sender unplugged for 1 day, and when i plugged it in yesterday the oil light came on.

The day before this happened i changed my oil.

as funny as this sounds... check the coils ground

seriously that's what happened to me once

which coil ground? I cant seem to find any other then the one that plugs into the side.

and how will that prevent him from having compression??

you, DID torque everything, and i mean EVERYTHING, to spec right?

-sheet son!
Well, before you start the car again, pull the fuel pump fuse and crank the motor over until that light goes out. If it doesn't you may have bigger problems.

yes i know lol

Joe I think you should just come to the conclusion that your ka has no potential

kick it?

haha my friend keeps saying to kick it lol.

Lester shut up. U just dont want my engine ot be better then ur's lol. Where have u been latly i havn't talked ot u in a while

I dont know Ive just been cruisin the town in my working sr is all. So why dont you sell it and get an sr or why doesnt your rich as swing for an rb

because, i've put to much into the KA lol..


I'm determined KA-T

Mother Fucker

hahah thats some determination just fucking pull the motor untill the meet and seeing as everyone is using ur crib have them help you put it in the CORRECT way

did you solve the problem? i would think it has something to do with your rebuild because its unlikely for that many valves to go bad to cause the compression to be 0 in all 3 cylinders. Or even 3 piston rings going out at once is pretty rare also.

I would think its something with the headgasket, or you fucked up rebuilding.

havn't solved the problem yet.

Timing was off 1 tooth ahead on each cam, guide was MIA on the top of the head.

Gotta drop the pan see if i can find a bolt and guide lol

HA HAAAA

you're screwed, have fun with the pan man [it sucks]
