After doing some searching I have found nothing more than http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic. ... nock+light this. So is it possible to make a knock light that is cheaper than turbo xs 100$ one. So bringing this one back in hopes to find an answer to the cheap knock light.

Here is the problem I believe!

And the other one

What valves are interchange able with 99 rs dohc heads will sti valves fit?

Yah the heads are in good shape I had them checked and milled so I know they are flat and hold pressure.

Well took the timing belt of this morning and rotated the cams a couple of times and nothing felt out of the ordinary. Did a compression test still 0 compression on both driver side cyclinders. Could there be a bolt or plug missing or something other than the head gasket that could be wrong?

Well I am headed out of town for the weekend so I will get wrenching on monday or tuesday. Will let you all know what happens when I re time it.

Is there any way I can check to see if the if it is the intake or exhaust cam out of sink? I will not have another chance to work on it till after this weekend so I will let you know what happens. Thanks You All for your help!

I did a compression test and found that compression was 160 on the passinger side, and compression was 0 on driver side cy 2 and 4. So thats were I am at right now leaving one of the cams out of phase?

Pictures to show the timing alignment. http://img1.putfile.com/thumb/12/34416031827.jpg http://img1.putfile.com/thumb/12/34416031730.jpg http://img1.putfile.com/thumb/12/34416031773.jpg I know for a fact that the belts are diffrent between a 96 dohc and a 99, and also know that the tensioners are di...

Tested it on my friends dsm and it read 150.

No the motor does not turn over to easy it requires a good bit of muscle.

I did not know you could adjust the lifters with shim over bucket style? Could the cams be torqued down to much?

Nrx4 I live right of 21 in copley so let me know if you whant to stop by. Mr. Monson these pictures are the best that I can do with radiator still in enjoy. http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/5/14115245924.jpg http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/5/14115250484.jpg http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/5/14115250467.jpg...

So just use a screw driver to find out where the middle of the up stroke or down stroke is? Right now my timing mark as pictured is #1 at the bottom the oposite of tdc. Or is there another mark that I line my crank gear up to?

Then what could it be even if you forgot a head gasket there would still be compression on 2 of 4 cylinders were as I have 0 on all 4. Next a missing intake manifold gaskes or exhaust manifold gasket would not cause this problem. So that would leave a stuck open valve or valves. I got the valve stem...

This is going the right way right?

I just did the tdc test by sticking a screw driver in cy#1, when I got to the timing slash piston #1 was the bottom of the stroke? Is that right?

I just did the head swap the car has not run for more than a minute. So I doubt their is whole in the piston, next when I got the head checked they they pressure tested it and everything checked out just fine. I will double check the cam gears, and I also got the timing belt from autozone does anyon...

The 2.5 lt were dohc, and seriously how can you fit a sohc timing belt on a dohc?

First those dohc cam gears are a hard find ebay, on here, or rs25.com are your best bet. Ok in 96 the outback had a dohc so I am using one of those and 3 99rs cam gears. Next I work at a local parts shop and their is a diffrence between a 99rs timing belt, and a 96 outback timing belt. I am using th...

If they do not wrong size belt? Next do you get the belt acording to the head year that you are using or the cam gear year you are using. Cause right now I am using 98-99rs dohc cam gears with 1 95-96 dohc cam gear. While using a 99 rs timing belt?

Hash mark, once you rotate the belt once or twice do the lines match up with the gears again, cause my sure do not.

Still working on this stupid dohc swap. The car will not start at all it just sounds like it is farting. So my friend came over today and we did a compression test 0 on all 4 cylinder, and yes we tested the compression tester and it works fine. So if I have 0 compression that would tell me that timi...

Willing to trade for a not stock turbo or some sti injectors
