Engine turns but no start
Hi guys
Just a general question, when they are saying you droppend valve what exactly does it mean, does it mean you over revv and the valve drops from the head to the piston and comes completly out of the head
If a valve drop or a valve gets bend by cambelt broke, will the motor not turn over
Is the HM 1.6 caddy carb engine a non interverence motor
Thanks

Re: Dropping a valve
Dropping a valve doesnt necessarily means over revving , it's one of the reasons but yes , the valve drops from the head onto the piston/into the bore. - This is disastrous whether the motor is a non interference design or not.
however on a non inference motor , valves are safe if the cambelt breaks - even if there's a valve stuck open - as long as it doesn't drop.
(the piston and valve will never meet each other even if the valve is open aka non inference motor)
Motor will not turn over if there is anything in the path of the pistons - Like the saying that goes " the motor skoped vas"

Re: Dropping a valve
Its probably your starter or battery then. If you dropped a valve it wouldnt turn by hand.caddy club wrote: ↑Wed Jul 11, 2018 9:03 am Because my enjine does not start and the starter motor does not turn the motor but the engine does turn by hard

Re: Engine turns but no start
spark & fuel?
Turning by hand is somewhat good news ,You should do a Compression test , It that checks out , drain oil , remove sump and have a look

Re: Engine turns but no start
Often happens when you fit a double seal at a service. So pull the filter off and look at it carefully.
BUT BUT BUT
ALSO here is the fun kicker. If your oil pump pressure release valve has failed this happens. It makes so much pressure that it forces oil past the seal - this also pumps up the lifters so much that the valves are left standing open so won't run. I have had that twice in my life before - Change the oil pump in that case.
It will crank like it has no compression - soo just huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh from the starter motor - not chi chi chi chi .

Re: Engine turns but no start
How much oil is left in the sump? You musnt over tighten oil filters or they bulge the seal and that will loosen off the filter.caddy club wrote: ↑Thu Jul 12, 2018 10:54 am No i’ve been driving this caddy for long now,,so if turns by hand it means no conrod or valve damange hence its turning,,,compression test not done yet but what bothers my how did the oil filter came loose and all oil coming out there,,,when i looked at the oil filter it was loose with the oil filter seal sticking out on the one side

Ive also seen this with someone that tried to use oil thickner to reduce a bearing noise and blew the oil out the top of the filter. Wasnt very prettypanic-mechanic wrote: ↑Thu Jul 12, 2018 11:02 am Often happens when you fit a double seal at a service. So pull the filter off and look at it carefully.

Re: Engine turns but no start
Oil related issues normally result in engine rebuild, not nice. Good luck with the motor rebuild.

Some are lucky to catch oil issues before further damages, others not. All the best with the rebuild

Re: Engine turns but no start
Not advisable , if you insist , if it's already loud then you don't have much time , If it's soft, you can drive it till it's louder.
Worst case , the rod will let go and destroy block.
As it stand now , Hopefully all you need is a new set of bearing's , If you keep driving it , you'll damaged the entire bottom.

Re: Engine turns but no start
I wouldn’t drive it with a knock even a soft knock. This will cause damage to the crank and then you have to strip the whole bottom end and rebuild.
You might be lucky that you only need new bearings now with the soft knocking. When you replace bearings, measure for oval journals and check for grooves or scoring marks on journals. Any of above and rather do a full bottom end rebuild now to save you having more or bigger issues later on.
