hi there i have a classic wrx im having trouble getting it started

i brought it a few weeks ago and it gained a missfire cos one of the coilpacks stopped working so i changed the plugs as well because when i removed the plugs out i found that 2 of the plug tips were missing so it was running on 2 cyclinders a few days after that the turbo let go so i replaced the turbo and now its not starting everything is were it should be and im getting spark and fuel but it wont start, i was wondering if anyone else has had or knows of a similer problem

thanks ronald wrx

When you say tips of the spark plugs, do you mean they came off in the bores?

If this is the case then I would say it's damaged some valves, possibly done the top of a piston & could of scored a bore.

Nooo , Id say that was a pretty standard start! lol

yes the tips of the plugs came off in the bores and the i lined the timing marks up for both heads and there slightly out but not by a tooth

Sounds like it's damaged some valves. Only way to get around it is to get the engine out & stripped apart I'm afraid.

thanks for your help guys i did a compression test on the car over the weekend with some intresting results so im now gonna remove the engine this week and strip it down
