Re: valve noise or pinging noise?
1) actually, i retarded the timing, i believe that a retarded timing cant do
damage to the engine like advanced timing can, perhaps i will get low
effiiciency on gas but i wont run the risk of damaging pistons and valves .
2) i seriously doubt that i have bent valves. my theory like i said before ,
is that some teeth came off and the engine stopped. when i pulled over i
tried to crank the car then tried to crank it in the impound lot, that might
ripped more teeth off.
3) the belt didnt break due to an oil leak its due to the fact that the belt
probably has 100k+ miles on it. i replaced it with a new dayco belt that i
bought at strauss discount auto.
3) i really dont think the mechanical timing is off because after i put the
new timing belt on and tensioned it, i set the first piston to tdc and
checked the marks on the pulley twice.
4) i retarded the timing last night and every thing is running perfectly
with no noises but i will still get a timing light and adjust it next week.
5) im the luckiest man on earth hahahhaha
