[RonRacer]

thanks. how did you get it to work?? i loaded it like 5x???

[cvc7chris]

what type of car is that again?

[vh22accord]

What year is your car? Have you changed the timing belt recently? If so it sounds like the cam timing is out and the valves are hitting the pistons.

[ExplodingCake]

Looks like no compression.

its a 97 honda accord V6.

i could be wrong because i'm not too familiar with the V6's (re.. hate), but was that the timing belts or the drive belts that were slipping?

[StinkinLincoln]

My bets on no compression or timming belt!!!

[RonRacer]

so how do i check/fix my compression??

at about 2:58 into the vid, you see a belt loose kinda half-assed spinning. You even mentioned that it looks like it's rubbing or something. BTW, that is your timing belt and there may be some more serious issues besides just putting the belt back on right. It almost sounds like there is some kind of metal to metal contact somewhere. It's hard to tell from the vid, but perhaps the cam gear is not on properly or there's some other issue that made the belt come off in the first place. Good luck!

[ACCLUDE91]

Alright, I watched it again closely starting at the 2:55 mark or so....Did you notice the cam gear sliding freely in and out from the head? It's possible the cam bolt just broke or it's possible the cam itself is snapped. Judging by how it almost symetrically goes out, in, out, in I'm guessing the cam is broken or if you're lucky, it's just a bent cam gear. That motor is not going to run any time soon until you take care of that!!! There may still be other problems, but that is what is completely obvious based on your video.

I agree with acclude there is something going on with that cam gear or the cam. Is that the stock cam? You need to pull that valve cover. I hope the valves aren’t hitting the pistons that would be really bad.

[RonRacer]

yea...the conciseness is that my timing is way off. so i gotta pull it out and reset everything back to TDC

Ronracer, your problem is exactly what Acclude was talking about. First, check that the cam gear is on tight...if it is on nice and cozy...you got a broken cam, and no compression, and just the cam gear is rotating, but not the rest of the cam under the valve cover. Take the valve cover off and find the break. Chances are, you are going to need a new head as well. Something seized up, probably lack of lubrication, and caused the cam to break...check it out.
