Re: Rattle...

What a scary day.
first of all i retorqued the cams because the clicking is still there after the clutch install, which is causing a shit ton of knock, so the car still loses all power after 3k rpm, i put the vc back on and try and start the car, and it sounds like theres no compression, i check compression in cylinders 1 and 2 and they are both at zero
open the vc again and check it out and everything looks normal, check compression on 2 again and its showing zero but the car all of the sudden sounds like it has compression again. so i put in the spark plugs and try and start it, it starts but sounds like it is only running off 2 cylinders
shut it off, recheck the spark plugs and reseat them, and start the car and it idles perfectly. but the tick is still there, im going to change the oil as per hughes and see if that was the problem all along.
regardless the clutch needed changing, it engages really hard and i love it
my car is possesed today
