No Compression
Car broke down last week, engine just died. Breakdown mechanic suggested timing belt but garage has checked and it's ok, timing ok too. That's all they've managed to do so far as they're very busy, but in the meantime I wondered if any of you knowledgeable people might have any ideas. The starter turns the engine but there's no compression, cylinder head complete overhaul very recently. In around fourteen years and 120,000 miles in my ownership (over 240,000 in total) I've never needed to call out rescue (Britannia have done well out of my premiums!) and MoT pass a couple of weeks ago with no advisories and amazingly low emission readings, engine's been running like a dream since head replaced, all very frustrating!
I should have said, car is a 1992 Torslanda. Last edited by Angie; Oct 19th, 2023 at 22:43. Reason: Further information |

Can you post a video of turning it over?

Sounds like the bottom cam belt gear has broken the locking tab causing timing to look right but be out

Timing belt could have slipped? Has the tensioner pulley been tightened and re-tightened properly after the head work?
