OMG !!!!! ok im really getting fustrated now i got the b16 head back a couple of weeks ago from the shop they said everything was good i received the b16 piston i needed i put everything together yesterday the timing is correct and everything and there is no compression on all 4 pistons !!!! WTF i called my friend that knows a lil bit about this stuff and he told me that it could be that the head gasket is on backwards>>>??? what do u guys think??? please please answear back

[xixtony]

I really need some help on this guys

r u sure your cr gauge is working ? there could be a couple different reason, rings, bent valves. ive never heard of a hg on backwards but it could be i guess.

take the head off and see if its on backwards

[xixtony]

yea cuz i mean the head we jsut got it back from the shop it had dropped a valve before they also replaces 4 other valves that wur bent so i really really hope that its not the head and if it was a bent valve the other pistons should have some compression

if you have no compression on all 4 cylinders then I'm gonna say get a new compression checker. Maybe the pressure release pin is stuck or something in yours.

Unless of course you forgot to install the piston rings or something.

lol nah we put in the rings lol but yea ill make sure i do that becase when we turned the crankshaft with the rachet u could hear the intake manifold suck in air so somethings wrong thanks

if your compression gauge does not move at all, check the gauge.

Hey guys i got it running i had to adjust the valves but the thing is it is idleling at 1500 and once the needle hits that number it bogs down and up and once i step on the gas steady it does it even more it does this in every gear right now i have the intake but no filter my dad covered the intake and the idle went down and it didnt bog anymore so i was asking if the problem could be that it is on and running without the firlter??? or is it somethin else that can be the problem plz answear back

Could be a possible vacuum leak in your intake system somewhere. When you cover the intake, the engine should sputter to a stop. If it keeps running, then its sucking in air from somewhere else...Good luck!
