my friend picked up a 91 gst the other day, drove it home, he said it ran like shit, wasnt boosting much... so yesterday he goes to start it, it cranks but doesnt fire.
did a compression test and it isnt reading anything on all cylinders. we did notice something that i thought was odd... the rockers on the exhaust side are all tight against the cam and dont move, but the intake side rockers we could just tap em with a finger and they would fall out.. what yall think? |
