So.....tell us exactly what you did please! Did you rebuild your engine? What exactly did you do when you "did everything by the book"?

I had taken everything to get the head off due to low compression the way the book says too but I’m kinda of stumped at that point thinking about buy a head only bc one of the threads for the intake broke so and found out the exhaust port on my intake is cracked and broken so I neeed to get a replacement

OK.......so no rebuild on the engine block yet then. To know if your Crankshaft/Camshaft timing was OFF......we needed to see a picture with the cylinder head still installed and the timing belt still installed. The picture above only tells us that the Crankshaft is sitting at Top Dead Center currently.......and that's where it needs to be once you get ready to reinstall the cylinder head and the timing belt.

Read up on Mitch's website as I believe he has plenty of information and videos on how to set the Crank/Cam timing when installing the Timing Belt. Keep us posted on how your doing......IN THIS THREAD.
