timing belt skipped Re: How was your trip home?

[Denis]

  Hmmmmm, what about opened valves ?
  I tried and the air goes trought the opened valves.....

  The air goes to the intake then trought the valves. If i dont want air goes trought the valves i must remove the cam to let all valves at rest.

    How about using a pressurized intake manifold to find the vacuum leaks?
    You put in pressurized air at 3 PSI . .and look, listen, feel for leaks. You
    can use a soapy water solution(dishwashing liquid detergent) to spray around
    and look for bubbles.
    You can also use a rubber hose as a stethoscope to listen for escaping air
    at various places.

    The intake manifold and engine is a sealed system.(NO)  The only free opening is
    the fuel regulator sensor plate plenum.
    Pressurized air wont get past the valves in the combustion chamber in each
    cylinder.
    Both valves are never open at the same time . . . unless you have a Hot Rod
    for the drag strip.

    Sealing the regulator can be simple, or a little more complicated . depends
    if you have that domed screen that sits on top of the regulator plenum.(Yes i have)

    -------Simple method----------.
    Remove the "air bonnet".
    If you have the domed screen -
    Take a plastic shopping bag, or garbage bag
    Place over the regulator screen and down the sides
    Replace the "air bonnet"
    The intake system is now sealed.

    ------More complicated Method-------

    If you dont have that domed screen, you need to make a plate to support the
    plastic sheet so it doesnt burst.
    A round piece of thin plywood or plastic or metal should do. A trip to the
    junkyard to find a screen might be a good idea.
    Place the round piece of wood on top of the plenum, cover with plastic sheet
    and put on air bonnet.

    Rig something up so you can let in compressed air at 3 PSI into the intake
    manifold. Schraeder valve in a hose maybe, with a T you can also hook up a
    pressure gauge. You can use a bicycle pump of you dont have a compressor.
