Broken/jammed Distributor = Bet Valves

[craig_007 1]

Follow on to previous thread,

 

I removed my recently refurbed dizzy to find 2 small screws have come a drift in the actuall distributor body,Now there is a metal disc in the internal of the dizzy with 4 pegs that stick out/down and the screws have got caught in here and the pegs !!

 

I stuck on a new dizzy yesterday,Car fired no problem but has a really promenent ticking/knocking noise !!!

 

I'm just after opinion on this ?

 

What else should I be looking at to see where the noise is coming from ?

 

Could the force of the engine turning(car cutout at about 50mph) and the screw jamming the dizzy have caused the timing to jump ??

 

My first reaction was bent valves ?

 

If it were the valves,What other symptoms would be showing ?

 

I'm going to go out and do another compression test today,I did check yesterday but my head was in it !!

If youve bent the valves, your compression would proberbly be low.

 

 

why not drop the timing pins back in and see, you could get it done in an hr and half

I'll re-time today and test the compression again.

 

I've read through a few threads where people have had bent valves but no lose of compression !

Ok,I've redone the compression test and the compression is definately down.

 

I've also just re timed it and nothing at all has seemed to move !!

 

I'm lost for ideas now !

Well if the compression is down the head has to come off either way, so may aswell take it off and see whats happened.
