hI CAN YOU HELP
MY SON HAS A PHASE 2 PEUGEOT 306 1.4 WHICH HE BOUGHT OFF E BAY??
iT HAS POOR COMPRESION ON PISTON 3 AND DOESNT APPEAR TO BE FIRING ON PISTON 4 DUE TO COMPESSION???
hAVING BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD WITH A SAXO i KNOW ITS QUITE EXPENSIVE TO PRESSURE TEST SKIM AND REFURBISH HEADS, AND MAY BE JUST AS COST EFFECTIVE TO SWAP THE ENGINE OVER
QUESTION IS::
what is the chances of the problem being caused by the linners dropping and how can you tell, before youve gone to the expence of head skimming
How can you tell by sight if a valve is sticking, without pressure testing first
Whats the torque on head bolts supposed to be
What else should i look for?? what else can it be
there doesnt appear to be oil in water or water in oil
or should i just be done with it and swap the engine over
Please advise
