751 2nd St, Encinitas

I’m Niko over from Charlie’s Foreign Car in Encinitas California today we have an O nine a four with the bad timing chain problem this is the timing chain area completely taken down you can see here is the crank shaft right here the cylinder head is right up here we put all brand new valves all 16 of them inside here underneath each of these Springs what it did on this car is it bent all eight exhaust valves so you can get a close-up of that kind of spinning see that valve should be straight, it is bent and all eight of them are bent. All the exhaust valves all the intake valves did not get bent so when I spin it you should not be able to see any difference.

That’s a good valve but they do have 130,000 miles on them so we did replace them for good measure what happened on this one right here you can see some marring on the crankshaft sprocket that marring the we found this to be loose and then it jumped time that’s not it right here so then that’s what caused all these valves to bend all the exhaust valves the intake valves made it through it but a new set of chains and tensioners and we’ll have this thing back right on the road thanks for watching.
