[bmwm42]

m42 isnt starting fuck i have fuel and spark guessing its a compression issue at this point fawk

[e30austin]

Aka bent/broken valves etc?

[bmwm42]

i have no resistance when i spin the engine so im not quite sure i have bent valves spark plugs check out no signs of any damage to them.

[e30austin]

Strange. Stupid question...DME and other grounds are hooked up, right?

[cbouchez]

Waiting for my new clutch and other goodies to arrive... Some of the item are out of stock.

But I'm getting closer to a 5-speed swap, I'm hoping to be good to go before the picnic.

[bmwm42]

nothing was unplugged there only thing i noticed is i dont have a real strong crank but spark fuel etc is present, i get backfire sometimes but thats it. everything was at tdc

[e30austin]

Pull the plugs out and crank it without the plugs in a few seconds. Put a drop of oil down the spark plug hole and crank again. Reinstall plugs and try again. My guess is that when the timing chain guides broke and the car stalled, they tried to start it a whole bunch and washed all the oil off the rings.

Problems, Jay?

Yeah problem is IV Fluids & constant throwing up. At least I am home finally and sleeping somewhat.

Thanks for checking in Keith, car is working guys :up:
