jayep91 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 hi all my friend lost comp on pots 1 and 2 and also starting tapping but only when reved up, so we took the head off to have a look to find the bit of gasket between 1 and 2 was missing just wondering if it would of been detting across the two cylinders to make the tapping noise just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?cheers Jay Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danturbo4311 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Does sound like it was deting especially if the gasket has blown between cylinders has he touched/moved the distributor before, makesure he sets the ignition timing to 10btdc, may want to also pop out the pistons whilst the head is off & check to see if the ringlands are ok, (the bit of the piston which is in between the rings) as they normally break off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jayep91 Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 ok mate cheers for the help will have a look at the rings but there was no smoke from the car also it lost compression about 5 mins after the lamba sensor fell out dont know if that could of coursed the head gasket to go?

Glanza_cl Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 nah doubt that would have caused it to go, would have just ran super rich and possibly a bit lumpy. make sure a metal head gasket goes back onalso just drop off the sump and check there are no metal pieces in the oil better to check then not Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As you may blow another head gasket or worse if not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
