    timing belt then blow up????

    03-11-2012 11:47 PM #1
    i just did a timing belt and head gasket on a 2.8l avant.
    it ran before i did this.
    i got it all back together today and cleared all the fault codes. none popped back up.
    i did a TBA and it went through well and it still idled funny and no throttle response after.
    i was holding the gas to the floor and it started to idle better. then there was a loud bang twice and then it just jumped up to red line and then shut off...

    any input please help.

    I agree, things do not sound good. I'm currently repairing a 30V V6 that had the timing off a notch and it bent two intake valves (cyl1&4). Those pistons are dished and virtually no clearance.
    Good luck.

    so if valves are bent but not broken, replacing the valves will solve the problem?

    I mean, the piston looks good in my car, I was wondering if there could be some damage beyond what is visible in such case.
