[@swenoxcalliibre__3945]

Cheers brother

Damn mate, feel for you! Yeah as you said I always wack each valve with a hammer to check. 😢

[@fixbuildrace]

Actually turned out to be something different 😅 will show the carnage in the new year

[@Lawcore]

@@fixbuildrace oh damn…. Worst? 😬😬😬

[@fixbuildrace]

Yep 😬

[@JDMmaaad]

That’s unfortunate! Keep at it though! Always worth it in the end

[@fixbuildrace]

Cheers buddy!

That harmonic balancer bolt is TTY and requires alot or torque to tighten the degree setting... Same as the ford 1.5s no key way on crank uses clamping force to hold timing in place

[@fixbuildrace]

Cheers mate. Will replace it this time and make bloody sure it won't come loose!

[@aaronduncan3278]

Really tough result - we will get it running again though! All for the learning - onwards in 2023!

[@fixbuildrace]

Cheers mate. For sure we'll get there

[@nathanaelkennerley7820]

Gutted for you boys,

[@fixbuildrace]

Cheers brother

[@lucasbuchanan6939]

Ahh sh*t lads!

[@fixbuildrace]

We'll get there

[@richardnorman1158]

Well it didn’t sound good when it was running

[@fixbuildrace]

That's just what the camera picked up. Actually sounded fine in person. Little bit noisy but normal for a fresh rebuild first start
