Sorry to make ANOTHER post about my free TR7 but here's what I've got going now...
I did a little clean-up today on the exterior and charged up a battery just to see if I could get the old slant four to fire...
I pulled the plugs and found a damaged tip on the #3 spark plug...never a good thing! Then I attempted to crank the engine...nope, it wouldn't budge. So my friend Sean and I kinda rocked it back and forth in 5th gear...BINGO! It broke loose.
Now it would crank...so I got out my trusty compression tester. Bad news..NO compression on #3...then it seized up again!
I pulled the valve cover and found the #3 intake valve cam follower is WAY down in its bore...probably a dropped valve.
So tomorrow (Monday) I'll pull the head...stay tuned... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nopity.gif
