Hi all
Advice needed please I purchased a 71 T2 bay window last weekend and I took it into a garage yesterday to get it serviced and the engined tuned and received the below response this afternoon.
Hi simon, after diagnosing the misfire, we have found there is excessive end float on the crankshaft indicating worn bearing. It also has no compression on no1 cylinder and very little on no2 cylinder. No3&4 are ok. Due to this I uwould recommend a full rebuild too ensure reliability in future. Regards James.[/color]
On speaking to the bloke I brought it off (eBay) he states it was fine when he sold it to be even though it was misfiring he just put it down to needed tuning etc and me being naive believed him. He had it in a garage the month before and they did some stuff to it including taking the engine out and putting it back.
Could it be something that the garage did to cause this or do you think the guy knew what was wrong when he sold it ?
Thanks
Simon
