Getting fuel and spark on first turn did not notice that timing belt was a bit slack :tard:
It started for a second then nothing sounded like no comprestion. Tightened belt to proper tention as it did not move of its timing marks:eek: Still no joy will the valves be bent:confused: and for some reason theres no battery light when ignition is on looking for some ideas before i take head of
cheers stevie

Take the top off and see if its snapped a finger, when mine had valve piston contact it just broke on of them and didnt bend a valve. no battery light,,, is the small wire connected to the alternator and is the alternator earthed out properly on the bracket?

There should be an earth strap on the alternator bracket to the block I think. shouldnt affect it starting though
