Hello,
Got a 1986 300zx 2+2 turbo for a fun fixer upper car. The person I bought it from said it had no spark. I am pretty handy with cars. I quickly eliminated most of the ignition problems with the schematic and a multimeter. i then took the distributor cap off and cranked the engine a bit... no movement of the rotor.
Crud with a captital "C". I know the previous owner will have turned the engine over looking for "spark" problems.
I am getting a new belt and tensioner (cheap enough) and then I will be checking compression etc.
My question is this .... Is their a chance (a small chance) that I won't have bent valves or worse?
I am fishing for a "broken belt' story with a good ending to help me sleep tonight and start taking the front end apart tomorrow.
Thanks in advance,
