I am working on a 2002 Chevy Tracker with 2.0l Susuki engine. I have rebuilt the engine and had problems getting it to restart, has fuel has spark but is leaking compression by all valve. this sounds like either the cam timing is wrong which is possible or there is something wrong with the lifters. can some tell me how the timing marks should line up on the timing chain?

does it go tick tick tick tick and when it warms up it stops or goes quiet?
its your lifters not getting enough oil
when u change your oil it will stop till that oil gets worn out
you will have to replace the lifters or it can also be a slack oil pump not pumping oil around the engine like it should

Sounds like a load of ------ to me but what are you going to do. The line should be steel and you can make a quick reliable fix. Locate the leak, the line will be attached to the frame, on the inside, probably the driver's side. There will be probably at least 3 lines in 2 different sizes. The main fuel feed to the engine should be a 3/8 lineand the others 1/4. The leaky one will be wet. Go to Your local auto parts store and pick up a compression fitting for the problem line and a roll of emery cloth. This should be around $10. Cut the line at the leak, using a small bucket to catch the gas thats going to leak out. Take a piece of emery cloth and clean both ends of the pipe so that the brass nut and the ferrules will slide snugly onto the line on both sides and join with the union. When you put the line with the ferrule on, make sure the gas line is pushed all the way into the union before you tighten it. Tighten it up and start the truck to check for leaks. If it leaks tighten it a little more. This will last for as long as you own the truck.It you can't get the line smooth enough to get the compression fitting on, take a small piece of rubber gas lineand put in on in place of the fitting. Use screw clamps for a gas line to tighten the rubber line to the steel line. You may need to use 4 screw clamps instead of 2 if the line is rough. Don't shorten the steel line if you have to use the rubber line because your fuel system is pressurized and a gap can create problems down the road. This repair will cost about the same as the other and last just as long. The compression fitting will work on plastic line as well. This should get you on the road leak free and not out a bundle.

SOURCE: I just replaced all of my hydraulic lifters and no compression!

Yes, you've overtightened the lifters causing the valves to not close completely. If you did not prime the new lifters before you installed them and tightened them with the engine off they are most likely collapsed. back off all of the rockers to just snug and make sure the engine is running when you readjust them. Usually you need to let new lifters sit in a can of oil for a while to fill up. I've used a syringe to fill lifters prior to installation. Did you replace the push-rods also? If so were they the same length as the originals?

Testimonial: "Very helpful and it had confirmed what I did. The push are in good shape. The lifter were primed in oil. Thank you very much your help. Aloha!"

i do believe it will not start with out it if you can hook up a scan tool to it crank the engine and look at rpms while cranking should read about two hundred forty rpms thats what fires the injectors the cam sensor tells the computer what cylinder is ready to fire next also scanner will set the cam timming.

Testimonial: "Excellent answer to my question. Thanks alot."
