Help! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
This is pissing me off. Just for the record I did nothing to this motor (some one else did)inside the case. That said I have a 74 2.0 T-IV on an engine stand. I am just about ready to do the tin when I think lets double check the timing and get the distributor on. I start to turn the motor and find TDC for #1 then adjust the valves, then rotate the crank 180 deg. and Holly Crap there is like a 1/8th of an inch play in the intake rocker!! Piston is at or near the bottom. Does this mean what I think it means (cam is not in there right)? Some body, please tell me the obvious thing that I am over looking or doing wrong! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Thanks -Pete |

I have been away for a while, sorry it has taken me so long to post. I am at a dinner party on a friends computer (cable modem is very cool).
I did speak to Jake and he was very helpful. I did not get to work on the motor today, but I should get to it tomorrow. I will take it apart bit by bit and photo as I go, as soon as I have it figured out for sure I will post. I hope to have it back together by Sunday night. What are peoples thoughts on lapping cylinders vs. cylinder head gaskets. I have to go I will check back later tonight. -Pete |
