Title: I have got an engine to rebuild - At last
Post by: Markie on 06 August 2007, 13:30:23
picked up a breaker last week - R reg 214 si Rover

No head failure - ie no emulsification....

But running on maximum 3 cylinders.

Compression test shows.... 212 / 172 / 212 / 0 ( zero!!)

i knew number 4 was shot as removing the ignition lead made no difference to its lumpy running - ie 4th lead in or out made no preformance issue....

but no compression at all  :o :o

That'll be a valve, then!

If you want a hand changing the valve, and I'm nearby, call me on my mobile! :y

seeing as you've got a good courier.. you could always sent the head to me - give me something to do on those boring nights in front of the TV ;D

Pull it off and have a look first, though...
