Ok so i have replaced all the inlet valves as they were bent........re-seated them......put it back together she still wont fire.....compression test was saying no1 70 no2 95 no3 80 no4 70 so after all the reading i agree that the shims prob have not been correctly done so i shall take the cam...

inlet is 15-25 and exhaust is 31-41 i think..... so do you think its been skimmed too much and thats the reason for contact? but if thats true it does not explain why its not starting

it was out by 5 teeth then it was timed up so i am guessing the shine on the valves was from when it was timed up wrong

Thanks all so much for all the help but did the timing and it was spot on bolted it back up and she still wont fire up...........:mad: so decided to take the head off again and asses the situation with the valves and pistons....its now off and pistons are tdc so thats great the valves have a...

I will do all of those checks and go over the timing again thanks very much will keep you informed

I am saying that i am not 100% on the timing and i refuse to believe there is anything wrong with my pistons as they are not standard for starters and they were new 3years ago

I bought a head and it didnt come with cams or shims so i had it skimmed and and had the shims cut down to be the correct fitment and the valves re-seated..... It turns over and try's to start BUT wont just keeps turning but not firing

no mate i asked owen last night if he could come over as he has the magic touch, but he is not sure :-(

Why would i remove piston two.....i mean the pistons/block were not touched

this it what i think as have tried again on timing and still wont turn over....compression is reading lower think i need to sleep then go again tomorrow....could someone put a link to the guide for me please or put a guide up .. thanks for the help guys

Hi all, I have just done a head-gasket on my EP82 and it wont start....... i have checked the spark plugs/ht leads timing is correct and a diagnostic test that say no fault (it continuously flashes) it tries..... the compression on no1 is 100 no2 75 no3 100 no4 80....what do you think.... i...
