Sorry for the lack of info, i havnt seen the car personally yet, and have only had the info second hand as well at the moment.
MK3 astra, 1.4, it has spi but had a cambelt go, so had a complete MPI engine installed and the inlet etc from the old spi was kept and ran as an spi engine.
now the problem in "as much detail as i have it".
it started to make a clattery noise miles from anywhere to got drove maybe ?10-30miles?, then the ecu light came on, unsure if the engine had cut out or not sorry( (i can only assume it must have for the light to come on), tried to restart and it wouldnt. towed back, then wont start, checked timing, found a couple of teeth out so reset, wouldnt start still, did compression test, 200 50 0 50 *ISH or there abouts*.
Any ideas? doesnt add up to me, surely few teeth wouldnt mash valves? but surely this is valve issue... me thinks pork pies are being told and 3rd was found instead of 5th?? over revved mashed valves and jammed the cam briefly enough to jump a couple of teeth?
Likely damage, quickest/cheapest repair technique? doesnt have to be a mint solution, anyone got any needed parts they can surrender for a minimal fee? she will never want me but smitten is smitten lmao :cat:
