(SR)problem getting it started

[sil_8t]

well,its in we dont have the i/c hooked up but tried to start it and uhhhhhh no it jerks ,shakes ,an exaust beat every now and then ,but no start.while we were trying to start it a flame came out of the throttle body????(flooding maybe?)

-things we tried

-well we messed with the distributer thing on the right side of the motor and it sounded a bit better but no start.

-connnected i/c pipin just to see,no

one of my friends that has done the swap stopped by and told me in order to start it we had to connect a hose thats on the intake manifold to the intercooler,and i was just wondering do i need to connect my bov to the also juust to get it started?well im about to be done 4 the day,but i will try to adjust the timin tommorrow....

thanx john

today we checked compression
-cyl1 120
-cyl2 120
-cyl3 0
-cyl4 120

to sum it up we had to puoll the head off and we found a screw lodged in the intake valve and messed up the head and the top of the cylnder.-------Good times!!!!!!! j/k

Yeesh..that blows. So are you going to pull the head and replace that valve?

Although it's uniform, 120 sounds just a tad bit low for a SR..it'll start for sure, but it could be an indicator of other problems. You should get a leakdown test and replace whatever is necessary when you tear your head off. It' may lead to less problems later on..

i pulled the head today saw the damage ,did a leak down with varsol,and the only one that leaked was the one that was fucked up.i ahve anther sr that spun a rod so i got the parts to fix but i might upgrade the head(pnp valve job)and i got an aftermarket exhaust manifold.it just sucks i was so close:cry:
