i have a 92 prelude 4ws that i just finished replaceing valves and timeing belts after everything was put back together it would only fire on the 1st and 4th piston and misfire on the 2nd and 3rd any ideas of how to correct this  SignaturePosted at author's request, using http://www.AutoBoardz.com interface Articles individually verified to usenet standards.

If that's good, check the compression in the cylinders. If #2 and #3 are very low, the cylinder head will have to come back off :-( and the head checked for flatness. At the least, low compression in the center two cylinders means the head gasket didn't seal between the two. Come to think of it, if the compression is very low on those two you can try retorquing the head (only because the gasket is newly installed - you didn't re-use the old one, I hope). Make sure you follow the torque pattern and procedure closely. It is a desperation move, but so much easier than taking the head back off. Mike Mike mike i checked my compression and i am loseing my pressure though the head gasket i already had the head checked for flatness so i must have a faulty headgasket. i’m gunna get another one on tomarrow and see how things go from there thanks a bunc > "carjunkie05" <none@000.com> wrote in message > news:966474_cd0b040dc53649be3d777ae3c091ee74@autoboardz.com...
