So i imported a gt4 to illinois! It was running fine on saturday until it died out when i gave it gas
I go to it today monday it wont start sounds like the timing belt is off checked the timing it was a brand new belt. Nice and tight how ever the car had no compression! I disconnected the intercooler and put it back on now its got compression and cranks healthy! There is spark and plenty of fuel pressure but i saw the ground cable smoking so i replaced it it dosent smoke now. Any ideas? im anxious to drive this thing thanks! |

pour a cap full of oil into cylinder one. If you get a bump in compression then it's the rings. If not it's the valves. Unlikely for it to be valves, because the 3sgte engines are not interference engines, but hey...anything can happen.
Here's the link for just about anything you'll even need to know about overhauling your engine. http://gt4.mwp.id.au/ This post has been edited by bsamps4: Oct 29, 2013 - 4:48 PM --------------------  |
