No compression = bent valves or piston rings failure. There are other causes but most likely impossible on a 10000km car. My quest is bent valves. I'm wondering if the cvvt system could cause that... If the system fails, the timing could be way off. But it sould be built to be fail proof.  |
Thanks for contributing!
Simultaneous piston ring failure in all 4 cylinders (no compression in any of them) is extremely unlikely so valves it most likely is.
Agreed, a CVVT system should be designed to not cause catastrophic damage in the event of malfunction. We'll see soon...
Again, Thanks!
