someone experienced wit this **** is my last hope. about a month and a half ago my car went down cause my car sucked up my meth nozzle and it got wedged in my intake valve and my roller popped off. well after like 3 or 4 times of takin the head off the car and retiming the ****** it still isnt workin. last week i took it to napa to get the head looked at and they tested the valves and told me there was a little leaking but nothin too major. they also said my head was a little warped so i had them fix it and my spark plugs didnt reach down into the cylinder very far. a few days ago i put the head back on, retimed it (to my knowledge i did it right), and yet again the car isnt runnin right, vacuum is still sittin at about 15 and the car sounds fucked up. i will try and get a video later on of how it is soundin and post it up. im on the verge of doing a last effort and puttin my other stock head back on. if this car doesnt get fixed then im sellin my turbo kit and puttin it back to stock and buyin another car. someone please give me some help

 

did the valve get replaced? i would imaging the valve is all fucked up. get the valve replaced.

 

no, i didnt replace the valve. i found a replacement for $25 shipped from this company in new jersey called headgames motorsports, but napa was sayin i didnt need a new one cause the one in there is fine

 

anyone know how to do timing? im wondering if i timed my car wrong and thats wht im havin issues

 

i m sorry but yes
but acccording to my english writting it is gonna be hard to explain it

let me try to explain you in my english wrinting what a task lol

at 1:06 to 1:24 sec, there is a CRucial info for timing our 2.2. but it is in french sorry about that.

do you use crank stock pulley?, there is a mark on it and a mark on the block.

align it

where cover and head match you should have 3˝ links on each side. and beetween these 3˝ links, you should get 16 links

even it french speaking you can understand it by looking at the links of the timing chains.

i think i got that right. they should in the 10 and 2 o clock position correct? also i got the crankshaft sprocket lined up at the 5 o clock position and the link on that one.

i ran a CEL code and it came up P0201...for cylinder 1 injector circuit malfunction. so im willing to bet that that is causing my low vaccum and missing problem. i also got a video of it as well. i hope i can upload it, its a HD video
