Crankshaft TDC

Good morning,

Did you rotate the engine and it stopped turning?

Did you crank the engine at any time? I am worried that the timing being out, you may have damaged the valves and you have a valve hitting a piston.

I attached the diagram of the marks and how they should be set.

See if that is where the timing line up.

it was cranked, and I also came to the conclusion that valve is bent. I just wanted to run it by an expert. In your opinion, would you replace the cylinder block or try to fix the valves?

The heads would have to be removed and inspected. At the same time, they need to look for piston damage. If there is, then you are talking a total overhaul.

My suggestion is to replace the engine with a good used motor. That would save you money fro both ends.

You can go to a site www.car-part.com and enter your information and there will be dozens listed from yards in your area.

I attached one page for you but I found over 400 available for you to view.


Roy

thank you for your time and opinion.

You are welcome.

Always glad to help.

Excuse me sir, is it possible for you to provide my the "how to" remove cylinder block and engine?

This is a huge project to take on. You need a lift, engine crane and a lot of different tools.

To be honest, I would go to alldatadiy.com and you can get a 1 year subscription for your car. Then you can go to the procedure and print out all the steps and pictures for the procedure.

It is a very long list of steps for this procedure.

You can also go to www.car-part.com to find a good used engine in your zip code.

Did you respond? I see an email but nothing came through.

Roy

I was wondering if its possible to attach a link on how to remove cylinder block and engine?

oh never mind. I seen your newest response.

It is okay.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
