Re: Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic

Well, no such think as a easy fix i guess. I made a spring compessor after work yesterday and put the rocker back in with the old lifter. The engine still runs the same. At this point I assume the valve is bent so i did a compression test. My compression tester doesnt read right but it verified that there is no compression on cly 2. I am going to borrow my buddies tester tonight to verify ny results and I will probly be pulling the head tonight after work.
Here are a fe pics of my homemade valve spring compressor I am going to try to find a longer bolt at work to elimincate the two I had to weld together. I am pretty happy with it for making it from parts from the hardwar racks at work.
