1993 Grand Am jumped timing. One valve is showing over 200 lbs of compression, the other three are showing none. Any suggestions.
I've had a few of these engines break the cam shaft after cylinder #4. meaning #5 & #6 have no compression, but also no oil pressure due to no oil pump drive from cam shaft. 2 out of 3 times the engine was toast. If it truly skipped the timing, then you will need a timing chain and sprockets. When the timing skips or the cam shaft breaks, the pistons will definitely hit the valves and bend them, thus no compression. I'd recommend tearing down the engine yourself and determine what went. To check the cam shaft, remove the front valve cover and watch the rockers for cylinder #6, if they don't move then broken cam shaft.
Are you turning the engine over with the electric starter ?
If I'm not mistaken this is a twin cylinder.Explain what key that you replaced. Any other info would be helpful.donnyb60
