Cannot get the timing right 89 2.0 cavalier
Monday, June 18, 2007 1:44 PM
#1 was at tdc, marks lined up but once I got it all together it still wouldnt start. Acts as if the timing is wrong. If it was off say a tooth or two would it at least attempt to start?

The reason I had to change the chain was the tensioner broke and it jumped time on me.

It almost acts as if it's not getting enough compression(seems to turn over too "freely"). How would I know if a valve is bent without removing the head?

Or should I just go out and attempt to reset the chain/gears?

Do leak down test on the cylinders and see what precentage they leak down, and how fast they do.
