car wont start.
« on: October 07, 2004, 01:42:05 pm »
Okay guys here goes. I did a complete rebuild of my motor using ryan lores old short block. 2g pistons 1g big rods that deal... anyways got it all back together ran like a dream.. so I ended up putting my boost controller and my gauge in. while I was tuning I posted saying I wasnt getting any vaccum readings on my gauge and I was really confused, everyone said look for kinks check vaccum lines I didnt.. finally looked behind my apillar and found a kink. so I was like sweet deal. that fixed that problem but before that when I was tuning my boost gauge was only going to 10 psi. and I knew it was boosting alot more then 10. so I didnt hammer on it. anyways. and I knew my headgasket didnt like the boost session. but still ran good so I figured it would be good for while till I had the time. so I am driving down to nanaimo to hit the casino with my buddy. talon was driving beautifully down the highway. I get to nanoose bay and the car was overheating all off a sudden. allittle confused. anyways put some water in it its all good. I end up driving down the raod about 5 clicks are just shuddering. and just dies. I was like wtf..... I figure okay my headgasket went. reason for the overheating.  I Get it towed back to campbell river via flat deck... from nanaimo. get it go start going to town on it. put a new headgasket in nothing.. I was like really wtf.so I ended up checking all the stupid easy things. nothing. I replace a shit load of parts. and nothing. so I checked my compression it was in teh doghouse
I did a leak down test and found that it was losing pressure though the intake. so I figured that either some valves some how got bent or something. took the head off bought new valves realized I didnt need new valves cuase they were all good took the whole head apart relapped all the valves with a lapping tool. and they seated really nice. figure awesome that should solve it put it all back together nothing. So the only only thing could be rings so I rip it all apart rehone the cylinders put new rings it and put the car all back together. goto start it and fuck just turns over. the timing is perfect.and the compression it getting outta somewhere and I have to leave to alberta. all I can think of is warped head or leaking valves. help guys....

P.S no grammer used in this post  :oops:

:shock:  well that no good. should be atleast 140 across the board. That side of the headgasket must have blown out but u just put that in  :?  . Very odd.

There must be a scratch on the head or on the block itself which is causing the head gasket to keep blowing. I call it the Ryan Coft syndrome.

Get the head and block re-surfaced so it's mirror smooth.
