I posted last night thinking I had a dropped valve seal. I recorded the sound I was hearing, the intermitant scrap/drag sound, and about 5 seconds after I shut off the recorder their was a pop and the engine stalled. Now it won't start(it cranks really slow)
Help!!! I can't up load itthe file, so e-mail me if you want to hear it. I'll send it to you. newto914s@yahoo.com |

Pull valve covers and look for loose rockers THEN....do a compression check....you may have dropped a vlave seat. Continual cranking with a dropped seat will chinger up the cylnder if the seat or top of the piston is hitting the valve....
a loose rocker will indicate the seat failure....zero compression....IF the rockers are all tight...can show a "slight" valve problem...either way it's tear down time if the rocker is loose and no compression... |

here goes. I uploaded it to some free web hosting site, and saved the file as a jpg. It is a wav file though. Your media player should be able to figure that out. If not change the extention back. Good luck
http://sam2.3h.com/images/engine_noise_3wav.jpg Thanks a ton Curt. He listened to it and thinks it's a seized piston. I tried and can't turn the engine by hand(one wheel jacked up, car in gear, rotating the wheel) |

How'd you get it to work aaron. I it's not working and I just put it up. This is pissing me off, but what should I expect from free.
Just e-mail me. I'll send it right off, till I figure this web hosting out. |

IT WASN'T THE ENGINE!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif)
It was the altenator. Somehow it Froze and was binding up the whole operation. We disconnected the belt and the car started right up. Has this ever happened to anyone else. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) way to go. sometimes the best advice is just to ignore all the "good" advice and keep looking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
