#1 of 3 2.2 litre with bent valves (2nd time) by snowstorm1 May 16, 2008 (5:08 pm)
Hello everyone   do I got a stumper for you all. my buddy has a car that i was going to buy for my son, its a 2002 cavalier, 2.2L, standard. My friend was gettting the work done on it as it had a clutch that was going, so the mechanics put a new one in, when there they wondered why the car wouldnt start and found bent valves, my buddy bought new valves installed them and they bent. So he bought another motor(used), and only used the intake off the old one, installed it took it for a ride around the block twice and turned it off,everything was fine. went to start it an hr later to bring it back in the garage and it woudnt start. got it in and did a compression test and the car now has no compression on the intake side of the valves again. any help would be great.   thanks Snowstorm1 Replies to this message: chevy_man76 (May 17, 2008 3:25 pm) dogrocksee (Oct 30, 2009 3:31 pm)

Replying to: chevy_man76 (May 17, 2008 3:25 pm) If the valves are bent it would mean he would not be getting compression and the car won't start maybe run as it has for a little while but then die. Check the timing as it certainly sounds like it.
