Re: [Amc-list] 66 Ambo 232 compression problem

A: It may have broken the chain or cam gear (plastic ones sucked!) in which 
case a couple exhaust valves and intakes will be closed in the same cyl, but 
all the rest will have one part way open. That or last time it was running, 
it overheated and popped the headgasket. (may have bent pushrods)

Well, I guess all good things must come to an end.  My brother
was over and I told him to hit the key a listen to how well the
Ambo runs after sitting for 9 years.  Oh oh!....crank no start.
 Hmmmmm sounds real funny...like it's cranking real
fast...kinda like when all the plugs are out and running a
compression test.  Hmmm maybe no compression.
 Okay...here's the question...pulled all the plugs...did comp
test an all cylinders exept # 1 ( a/c compressor in the way).
Had 160 psi on 2 cylinders and 0 psi on 3 cylinders of the 5 I
checked.  Probably jumped time I thought as it normally happens
when cranking not running I'm thinking.  Valve cover leaks like
crazy so I pull it just to make sure no broken camshaft and all
rockers are moving.
 What puzzles me is I would think if timing jumped all
cylinders would be low or zero.
 Thanx in advance for all who might respond, and all those on
the site who often do so to the bennefit of all of us who read
your remarks.
