No Compression aft reman head install 94 teg RS
 

What am I missing :confused:
I've got a 94 Integra RS (non-VTEC) 230k
my timing belt broke & it took out some valves (80lbs on #1, 120lbs on 2 & 4, & zero on #3 ) so i had the head rebuilt.

1st Install. After reinstalling it wouldn't start so i checked compression again & got 120 on #1, 60lbs on #2 & zero on 3 & 4. So i assumed i must have turned the crank with the camshafts torqued down :mad: (tho i would swear i didn't) so i returned the head to the shop & they said they found some bent valves which they replaced.

2nd Install After reinstalling the head again (i'm getting quicker @ it) i found almost the same thing, 120lbs on 1 & zero on 2,3 & 4, (after i called & told them what happened, the shop told me that "there were a couple valves that wouldn't line up perfectly so he replaced 4 more valves") I'm assuming it's the same problem as the 1st Install

I had the crank on TDC & the sprocket arrows pointing exactly on the line on the back cover. In the 2nd Install i took a shortcut & didn't pull the crankshaft pulley & lower covers & just levered the camshafts into place & everything lined-up perfect. Is that a bad thing? It sure saved some time.

all 4 cylinders hold water w/o leaking so the valves can't be leaking too bad.

Thanks for any ideas anyone might have

Figured it out.

aft the reman the valve lash needed to be reset, it was holding my valves open.

Live and learn.

Can you tell me is it all because of the breakage of the timing belt. I mean you may not be installing it properly.Just check it out once again.
