this would make sense if it was a 8.5 compression ratio engine, the 1.8l is 10.5:1 lol. regardless i unfortunately had to trade it in, i couldn't deal with the issues anymore.

correct, everything should be lined up before and you should have the belt on at all times when manually rotating engine over 360 degrees otherwise you'll smack the valves against the pistons. You may need a second person to place the locking tool into place while you put tension on the...

You need to make sure that your camshafts are lined up, if they aren't then rotate them to the correct positions. the slot on both camshafts should be perfectly horizontal with the surface of the valve cover. after place the locking tool in. put belt on both camshafts and crankshaft, then...

it should rotate freely if timing is on point without the spark plugs in if it refuses to move at all, do not force it as you could have timing off and a valve could be colliding with the piston head, forcing it to rotate at that point could bend a valve, which is no bueno! Try and rotate it...

There is a steel bar you can order, part number KM-6628-A. it's just a really thick steel bar that goes into little slots on the driver side of the camshafts, it keeps them in place allowing you to take off the gears and whatnot as well but it acts as another measure for keeping them in place so...

K, after a month i bring news. whether it's good news or bad is up to you, but it's news nonetheless. So a few days ago, it finally started having an issue where at idle, it would sit there and misfire heavily on Cylinder 3. replaced spark plugs, nothing. replaced coil pack, nothing. I then done...

i don't think that would be it but i've also dealt with this issue for the last 2 years and nothing i've done has seemingly made any improvement on my whole situation with this car so honestly, im open to ideas! I don't necessarily have the time to dismantle the whole freakin thing head and all...

the pcv was an issue for at most a week, i ordered the part as soon as i found it(i check everything on this car daily anymore to make sure nothing new is going on). As far as oil contamination i know there's consumption somewhere, i just can't for the life of me figure out where, i sealed the...

So, i went ahead and bought a little cheap borescope to look around and well, i think it's safe to say it's the cat causing all of my issues. Inspected all 4 cylinders and even my the cat. i had looked at the cat on the other end where it connects to the flex pipe before and it looked perfectly...

yea i have the 1.8L, and regardless, the valve cover has been replaced multiple times, thinking it was that... needless to say it wasn't lol. About the closest i can explain the noise that's happening would be spark blowout but from what i've read, it has to do with higher compression from a...

still having the same issue. i had posted on reddit as well, someone suggested that it might have been a VVT solenoid/sprocket, ended up replacing those and it didn't seem to fix it, i did end up fixing my mistake with the valve cover leaking(the cover was fine, i was just dumb and forgot to put...

k so, now the issue has moved from occuring when going onto the highway and going up this really steep hill i have to drive up every time i go home, to now just doing it around town when im leaving for work. and when parked and walked out, i could smell a very distinct smell of sulfur. so i...

i have not sadly. i did notice that the days that it doesn't do it, the car runs cooler? when ECT was at like 201f, it had no problems, but if i got to either of those spots when it was at like, 212f-221f, it would have its fit. i don't know if there's a connection there or not. i've also...

I had gotten this car back in january of this year, the car drove great and i loved it, but i noticed that every once in a while going above 70mph it would sometimes start jerking and lose power, cruise control would cause it to downshift and it would stabilize. that's all it was until around...
