vito 113 petrol poss stuck rings

[gsc1ugs]

Hi

This vans been laid up 12 months and ran before that now a compression test gives

psi test
cylinder 1 = 170
cylinder 2 = 50
cylinder 3 = 0
cylinder 4 = 150

I'm wondering if rings could be stuck on 2 and 3 cylinders, its worth trying so could I put a lube down cylinders 2 and 3 see if anything happens and if so what?

Hi.
I would say more like valve seats... If those cylinders had valves open when parked up for 12 months... Most probably you now have some contamination / corrosion to the valve seats...
So not sealing

Could the timing have slipped/jumped? Maybe chain issue. Worth checking the basics first

Stuck or nearly-stuck valves on 2 and 3

Previously have owned 2 113 petrols and the occasional overseas trip l left the vans sitting there for a few months ,on both occasion s sticking valves and lifters

Is it head off job or any stuff i can put in?

 

[sherco450]

l not sure if it will fix your problem. l dumped my oil and ran a 0w-30 thinner viscosity and it freed it up. You may already be running the viscosity being in uk "s colder climate .

How long does it take to get cam cover off? when I get a zero psi for one cylinder is that stuck? will an additive do the trick or should I take cam cover off see whats happening?

Get a heavy duty jump starter,make sure your battery is fully charged, set to cold start (max), spin over the engine in 10 second bursts to avoid overheating the starter motor.
Might take a while to get them freed up.
Repeat this until it fires up when the valves become unstuck (if your lucky).

Worth a shot before stripping anything down

I would fire some oil down the bores and crank her over with some added juice. If its the rings they will probably seal. If its the lifters then just keep cranking and the oil pressure will get up there!!!!

when you say added juice, power? I tried bump this last week but no joy so I don't think a booster packs gonna help, I tried bump a month back, didn't fire up so continued back towing, after 15 mins towing I tried again bumping and its started?

Try this method for longer ^^

Or .........

Booster pack is useless you need a proper battery cold start unit and proceed as in my earlier post.

 

[gsc1ugs]

Ok, I will, how long take the head off 2 hours?

 

[gsc1ugs]

This is where im up to, hows those cam cogs come

Hello?

 

[sherco450]

Grazios prego thank you

 

[gsc1ugs]

Sorry?

 

[DSM10000]

Hello?

Grazios prego thank you

Sorry?

I thin you will find that sherco was responding (tongue in cheek) to your "hello"

It may help if you added something else to your post like "bump" as most people see this as a further request for help in an existing thread
