Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    h23 compression?

    well, i just got an h23a1 the other day, and decided to take the valve pan cover off to take a quick look. come to find out it has a broken cam gear and no timing belt. shit.
    so, just bing curious i tryed to spin the crank, which it did, but i can spin it with my hand.. is this normal or am i going to have to rebuild this motor? ( the guy who had it before me claims that he rebuilt it. im starting to think that was bullshit.) there are no belts or anything sttached to the crank.

      I must be Thor. I spin my crank all the time when I change my axles. probably too much... but it's not hard to do at all. You can feel the resistance on the compression stroke. At least, you can when there's a timing belt installed!

      With a broken timing belt, there could be serious damage.

        but, the thing is, i dont know if the timing belt broke or not, because there is none there, along with onle the center of a cam gear. and i can feel a little bit of compression on the compression stroke, but not much, and when i say turning it by hand, i mean with me hand not a rachet. i can literally grab the crank pully and easly turn the crank.

          Yeah, I can turn mine with a ratchet with no problem.

          Replace that timing belt and cam gear, and do a compression test. That will tell you if you have any internal damage done. If a piston met valves, at least one cylinder will have noticeably low compression.

          No timing belt is scary... and a broken gear doesn't just happen... so chances are the reason why the belt was removed is because the gear broke.

          They probably broke the gear, took the belt off thinking that was the problem, saw the broken gear, and said "screw this... I'm selling this motor and getting something else".

            yeah, that is what i was thinking, but i guess i wont know untill i take the head off, if i have to completely build the motor then i may as well just build my f22
