Ouch. Hopefully that means no bent valves though.

 

Did you tighten the cam caps up in order when you assembled the engine?

I don't know...wasn't sure there was an order...I just tightened them all down lightly until they were tight, then torqued up

As stu said...no compression so I am expecting the worst really. The head is nearly off anyway because we were going to take it off and just found this once we took the caps off.

i tend to agree would be very lucky if they havn't hit :thumb:

 

you could always do a leakage test before removing head just to be sure

It's just head bolts holding the head on anyway. We took the exhaust manifold off yesterday but put it back on...no biggy. I'll compression test it again tomorrow but I'm expecting nigh on sod all from 3&4. If its valves just whip it off and take it down the local machine shop or if I can be bothered, get the valve grinding tool out and sort it :) Edited by Andy 3i
