Hi guys and gals!!! Just thought Id come here for bit of advice. I have just fitted my 2.1 zvh bottom end to my 1.6 rs turbo head. After a few times of starting it I could hear a quiet a severe metal to metal sound. I removed the lifters and found that 1 was sticking so the valve was staying down and hitting the piston.

I then gentle rubbed down the inside of the sleeve with 800 wet and dry using oil and it seemed to be bit better!

Couple days later I have restarted engine again and it sounds like its making a severe metal to metal noise again. The head gasket is definately the right size so there is enough gap.

Can anyone give me any websites or helpful information on fitting a head then cambelt and checking TDC's. i gotta feeling it might be a tooth out. thanks in advance for your help and advice.
