DrNutt Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Gutted. My beloved 4.2 V8 has just skipped a tooth due to the famous tensioner problem. Thankfully i wasn't 'driving' it when it happened but it's misfiring on all 4 cylinders on the driver's side but no valves etc have been damaged as far as i can tell. I checked plugs and coils but issue remains on that side and after inspection by a local garage it's fairly conclusive what the issue is. What would you do? Future resoration project or call it a day? The quote was eyewatering! cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Hello Rob, Sorry to hear of your problem. ‘No valves etc. damaged….’. The best way to confirm that is to get a compression test carried out on that bank to hopefully confirm your belief. That has to be your starting point for considering the car’s future. Kind regards, Gareth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
