I own a 57 focus St with 35000 on the clock the engine has no compression :-( any ideas ......????

 

No compression on all 5 cylinders?

 

That's right I've been told that one of the covers under the car could have shattered and got stuck and knocked my timing out which would cause a lot of damage but they won't know for sure until they take the head off. ..I don't know much about engines my self so am trying to find out iff anyone else has had this problem and can it be repaired or is it a new engine job and what that would cost .....

 

if the timing belt has been disturbed you could be looking at 20 new valves and a head rebuild, you may have got lucky and only bent 10 valves. If you have bent vavles its going to cost over £1000 easily for parts and labour. Either way the head will have to come off.

 

bend over and lube up your in for a bumpy ride

 

Its at Pumabuild at the moment ,there going to let me know on Tuesday ....fingers crossed I. suppose...

 

a compression test tells you that you have a problem, but you probably already knew you had a problem! either way the head has to come off, get stripping!
What difference does milage make lol

 

Cor if its at pumabuild add another £1000 to my guestimate

 

What do you think it should cost to supply and fit an engine iff that's what I end up having to do....YOUR ADVISE IS APPRECIATED ....

 

EBAY special supply and fit buy it now £1850 lol

 

Ebay and get an RS engine and drop it in. Be cheaper and better performance. Not sure what else would be needed like (ecu etc?)

 

What a bugger. Not long out of warranty?
