No. Not this engine. I discussed the original 95 M50tu engine two years ago. This engine I left it in the corner of my garage until about three weeks ago.
I never had the chance to get comprerssion because it was not installed. I wasn't sure I got the timing correct either after almost taking it completely apart. That's why when I faced with the no start (because of a blown 80 A fuse) I did compression.
Tell me, if it is you, do you have any doubt after putting together the camshaft, chains and valves, then lower the engine and find the compression are 230 to 235 in every hole except the number 3 hole you get 180 that you did not get the timing right? Give me a reason you think timing is incorrect when you have these compression numbers.
