Timing help need pics provided

[Amit182]

Hi all having issue with my timing am using proper renault tools, all the timing marks are line up inc the crank which is at the 1pm position, crank pin is fitted all the way in, ran a compression test she was showing 175 psi on all 4 cylinders any ideas??

Have you got the horseshoe that slots in the end of the cams?

Talk us through what you've done so far

 

[Amit182]

Yes I have the horse shoe, that's fits in without any struggle, all belts and dephaser replaced, belts were rotated forward backwards before they were tension up etc, I read what I could find about timing on here but still cocked it up !!!! Thanks 4 the reply

So what's the problem mate? I might be being thick but I'm not sure what issues you're having? If it all times up ok, and the horseshoe slots back in no problem then you're all good?

On start up she was struggling past 3000 rpm didn't sound right too, b4 I started with the timing belt ran compression test was showing 200psi on all four cylinders I wish I listen u you guys by taking it to a specialist !!! All marks are lining up to the tee am out of ideas

why the pics in the first post? are they taken with the crank locked in place?

 

[Amit182]

Pics was to show the cam are lined up Yes locking pin was in place while takin them pics, I've just checked flywheel and that's at TDC too has the engine gone fubarred ??

If the pulleys are all tight and the marks like up you can't have gone too far wrong.

I would you had damaged valves you would get less than 175psi, and the cylinders would likely give uneven readings.

 

[Amit182]

Pulleys are tighten to 125 NM got the info from here, am frigging lost with this one may just start all over again

 

[bloke]

must be the angle of the pic, thought second one was out.

 

[Amit182]

Nah they both lined up taken so many pics and been staring at them for hours lol

 

[Symon]

You havent dislodged something else or split a hose have you?

 

[Amit182]

Dunno I will check that tomorrow, today was just re-checking the timing marks, I've got a video of it running but unable to post will keep trying

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

There are no "timing marks?"

Blocked cat

 

[Amit182]

What I meant by timing marks were the locking pin and the horse shoe, I don't think it's the cat she low on compression on a four showing 175 psi gona post youtube vid later it's not letting me do this at work haha

Is the engine at the same temp as before, it is imperative that you check the compressions when the engine is at operating temp, and will make a difference to your readings if the engine was tested hot and cold.
