Nice work, glad you were able to fire it up! I didn't think that harness would be too much trouble for you.

Woo finally back together and on the ground again. Should be getting my tune today so I can finally hear it run longer then 10 seconds. Didn't like how the t for the cooling head mod came out so ordered a better one for that but other then that just some wires to solder and she's done

So got the wires all soldered up today. But car won't run even after the tune dicked with it all day sat and got nothing checked the fuel pressure it was good finally checked compression. drivers side is fine pass side has little to non. Valves were hitting before the motor went in re adjusted the Intake cam and there were good. Hoping it didn't bend any valves when turning it over by hand gonna take it back apart this week and pull the followers and check compression and see where were at

So haven't even started on taking the motor back apart yet kinda lost my drive. But got a few things today that should kick my butt in gear to get me going again

Picked up a intercooled v1 with 60lbs injectors vortech bov and lighting maf for 1000 bucks. Just need to get a blow threw maf and fuel pump and I think it will be ready to install

Also picked up a set of oem bullitt pedals for 30 bucks that I've been wanting to get. Pads are a little worn but they will work for now

And got one of those small shift lights for free

Hoping to start taking the motor back apart this week to get the head off and fixed so I can get this thing back on the road soon

Nice score! That sucks about the engine setback but at least you have the parts to build a beast now. Hope to see some more good luck in this thread!

Well started taking the motor back apart yesterday only have a few more things to take off to to get the head off didn't feel like laying on wet concrete so have to do the ps pump then the timing cover will come off then it's the dreaded long tube. Thank God for tubular k member. Also thinking about slapping my b head intake cams while it's all apart again do you guys think it's worth it?

Nice score on the Vortech.

I remember pulling Jolly's heads while in car. Pain in the butt on a 4v lol

 

[97_281gt]

So update got the head off took it to the machine shop no bent valves fml. Guy at the machine shop was dumbfounded why there was no compression. only thing he could think is the lifters wernt spongy and were locked at the top he thinks it was making the valves stay open. So now gonna bleed down all the valves make them spongy again put it all back together check compression and go from there. Hopefully that's all it is

I thought it was a pain to bleed down the lash adjusters on my 2v, I don't envy the double work you have to do! I used a c clamp with thick rubber tied to the ends; a vice would be much easier if you have one (if not it's a good excuse to get one). Hopefully that solves your issue with the compression
