Seems a clear difference here between first and last .

Anyone got any take on this ?
Im assuming that they should all sound the same?

NI_Volvo_Nut · Oct 1st, 2013, 20:07

I would've thought so, hows it running / driving?

stutgart69 · Oct 1st, 2013, 20:18

Tax is up so I can't really go anywhere , but it seemed to drive ok round the scheme , revs up ok despite sounding a bit rough

It does sound a little bit different from first to last but that in itself may not mean much as the sound can be different depending on which cylinder you read.it might be worth compression testing each cylinder in turn , if you have bent a valve you should see a marked reduction in the compression figure for a damaged valve. the compression readings definitely should be very similar for all cylinders.
Did you check the timing before your screwdriver video?
if it runs ok and doesn't smoke badly it's probably ok. Compression test would prove each cylinder.
Good luck mate,keep us updated. We are all rooting for you on this one.

Its running on 5 cylinders, build it up and drive it, worst it will do is go off a cylinder. Bent valve would mean it would be off a cylinder now

Compression test would be my (your) next step

Sounds normal if mine is anything to go by ie: noisier at number 5 (nearer the vac pump?).

as did mine when it had no compression on two cylinders....

Im getting a mate at work to make me up some cam and crank locking pins with his lathe . I really need to make sure it is timed 100% right before I can go any further . If after that it is still running rough then it is almost certainly a bent valve or 2 that is the cause.
