Hello people just had the head rebuilt on my 2wd cossie , had new cams , springs etc !
Got it all up and running a couple of weeks back now and booked in for re map next week so I thought I would start her up.
After about five mins it made a clicking sound and died straight away !
I looked under the bonnet and found my inlet pully has come loose and the belt moved back towards the head and was rubbing on it , which would be the clicking sound. You can see where the paint has come off !
Checked all the timing marks they are all in the right place and the belt is still tight !
Is it worth tryin to start it or is it a head off job ? Don't really want to do this as it is a brand new and has all ready cost £2500 so any help would be apperated
Thanks

 

If it's still timed up and you've tighten pulley up turn it over by hand and see if it's spins freely, if it does then do a comp test if that's ok you may of been lucky!

 

remove the spark plugs before turning the engine over by hand.

 

If it's still all timed correctly then chances are it's ok, but dosen't explain why it died, in any case turn it over by hand as first, as said.

Otherwise it's going to have bent valves and is a head off job!

Hello people thanks for your help ! Turns out it is low on petrol and has sucked up a bit of crap and has blocked up it's just by luck it packed up and I noticed the inlet pully was lose.
Glad I wernt doin 150 down a motorway when the pully comes off ! But it's a cheap fix thankfully.
Thanks

 

Bet thats a relief huh? As I was saying above I coulden't see it being the timing.
