Sainty Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Had the engine light on for about 2/3 months and it was a cylinder 2 misfire but the car seemed to be running fine changed everything HT leads,coilpack, swapped injectors, spark plugs, crank sensor and a compression test at work but apparently the compression was on so ran out of ideas so thought well I'll do a compression test at home just to make sure and the compression on cylinder 2 was low. So proceeded to strip the engine down to see what the problem was So as we tool the cylinder head off and looked at the valves we saw immediate what the problem was The one on the right is whattt should look like Ordered new vales which should be here on Tuesday ish so in the mean time gave the inlet valves a clean Ordered a new head gasket kit and other goodies for the old girl aswell so just gave everything a clean up and stuff How ever my problems don't stop there I have a broken clutch bracket so after the engine back together the steering coloum and pedal box are out and a new pedal box put in Edited April 27, 2014 by Sainty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango91 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Any idea what caused the valve to get all chewed up? Any marks on the #2 piston? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
