Re: 94 quad four timing problem
Just rebuilt my quad 4 single overhead with 270,000 miles on it. The only reason was leaking a little oil and loosing water. Found a blown head gasket. But, the timing as mentioned before is critical. Mine was a little off when I started it the first time, bent valves, and had to pull the head. The timing chain should be tight. If not, check the tensioner. I had a lot of fun with that. The shaft slides out, and ratchets. To compress it, you have to turn it 90 so the ridges are along the side. Depress it, get some needlenose and turn it back towards the tensioner body. Put a clip in the hole and on the chain guide. Install, insure timing is accurate, then pull the holding wire. Took me a couple of hours, but it runs sweet now.
