Thats pretty much the only way to tell if the motor is okay. You could tear it down if you wanted, but that is a little more costly. Good luck! _____________________________ These cranks are made for walkin'', and thats just what they''ll do, one of these days these cranks are gonna walk all over you (in reply to Zell311) Post #: 3

I has aligned the cam marks to their appropriate position. The crank timing mark is at 6:00 (Straight down). This would be about 130 degrees. Is it a given that the valves have bashed the pistions? RPM was low at the time. Is this engine a 0 clearance engine or and interference situation _____________________________ 1995 3000GT (in reply to Zell311) Post #: 6

I am fairly sure that valves smacked into pistons on this one. _____________________________ These cranks are made for walkin'', and thats just what they''ll do, one of these days these cranks are gonna walk all over you (in reply to Zell311) Post #: 7
