2006 Outlander - no compression
I'm trying to solve this issue and hoping for advice. The water pump on my Outlander failed while driving on the highway and I experienced power loss and of course overheating before shutdown. The water pump bearing went and the vanes cut through the housing sending shrapnel into the timing gear area. I replaced the water pump myself and while doing so I noticed all the timing marks lined up so I didn't feel there would be a timing issue. However the engine turns over but does not start. I cannot get any compression on any of the cylinders. I took the camshaft cover off and everything seems to be turning as it should.
The only things I can think of that would cause zero compression would be the head gasket or bent valves. I can't see any sign of water in the oil so I am guessing the worst since this is an interference engine. I thought I would post here in case anyone had any other thoughts. Also any ideas how I can confirm if the valves are shot without tearing down the engine too much? Thanks. |
I just thought I'd mention that I'm going to borrow another compression tester in case the one I just bought is faulty. I'll report back when I've re-tested.
