Head gasket may have failed between water way and cylinder, is the cooling system over pressurising? Do a compression test
4.6 won't start

Well unless you are pouring coolant down the inlet, how is it getting into the cylinders? Hard to tell from the video but it sounds low on compression

??? sparkplugs out, compression tester screwed in. Make a note of pressure for each cylinder
best unplug the injectors, don't want to lose a forum membertomcat59alan

Well we are all guessing, you have the motor. Check the comp. tester, check other cylinders and see what you come up with. Good luck
Compression test on nr. 1, 2, 6 and 8. Zero across the board. Nothing. I skipped the rest because it was depressing, thight squeeze and cold as a mf. I whipped off the right rocker cover an had my father in law crank while i checked the movement. All valves move just fine..... Meaning the cam and crank is fine. I also tested all the fuses, all fine.
This is ****ing me off now.

Nowt to do with fuses, think you are grasping at straws. Guess you didn't wet and dry test as advised by wammers. I think its time to go against your mums advice and pull your heads off
I don't know this engine but is it possible for the timing chain to jump if it is worn, without damage to the valves?Nowt to do with fuses, think you are grasping at straws.

I Don't get the joke.
Heads are not coming of any time soon.
Cam and timing set is relativly new. One year and a bit not to many kilometers on them.
No, didn't wet test now, outside, winter, norway.
will do a full leak test as soon as i get the car back to a garage. Grasping at straws? Yes, i am guessing, as nothing i have checked apart from the compression is ok, and those are fishy test results also. I checked anyway, again.

English sense of humour (wasted):whoosh: If your compression tester is working then you have big problems and I bet the heads are coming off :hurt:
