williams 2 timing tensioner failure

[dimma]

i bought a williams 2 at the weekend with this problem. i turned the engine over with a socket and ratchet on the bottom puley and it turnes over real easy.what is the most likely damage and would it be worth fixing?

[Laine_16v]

Turned over easy probably because it has no compression!

Head off job to inspect damage to valves.

if the valves are bent is there anyway they can be straighted?

Doubt you'll ever get them straight enough to be used again

If valves are bent you should buy new ones. Sometimes valves are bent so little, that it's impossible to say just by looking at them.

Cheapest way to diagnose your problem is simple compression check, and if something is wrong, try leak down test too. That way you will know if it's inlet or exhaust valves, piston rings, HG...

I have a spare williams head.

got the head off and all the exhaust valves are bent and two of the inlet.ive got a 1.8 16v head and the exhaust valves seem to be the same,am i right ? if so im on the hunt for 2 inlets.would the hydraulic adjusters be ok?

[dimma]

there are inlet valves on ebay,the listing says they are for clio williams f7r and megane f7r.any one know if the will fit ?

[Laine_16v]

No, they will be 33mm valves, no suitable for Williams, they need emailing to tell them that tbh.

You need 32mm valves.
