The motor was rebuilt but not timed right...it's been cranked and cranked from them trying to start it...my question is what's goin to be wrong with this motor since they cranked it out of time?!?

 

hi there have posted on ur other post but most probably be ur rods with the most damage as they will most definately either be jammed or bent if it doesnt crank over at all now like its stuck expect another engine rebuild or a new block depending how bad it is!!! its happend to my mate before and got a garage to do it cost him about £1,300 not good good luck pal keep me informed what happens cheers aj

 

Its not stuck or anything it'll crank over just fine it's just out of time and has been crank over a lot while out of time...and I don't know if four wheelers are somewhat similar to a car or not I know cars I dont know four wheelers...but I know if a cars cranked over out of time it will warp the valves and stuff in the head...

 

so does it run?

 

No it's not running its definitely out of time...I'm jus wondering if imma be able to put it in time and it be ok...or if them cranking it while out of time has messed something up inside...

 

if you want i can send you a warrior 350 workshop manual this will help you with all your needs whats your email! also the engines are very similar to an engine on a car just smaller if timings are wrong it can open up a whole world of ***** lol not a good root to go down!!!

 

Ok man thanks for the help... My emails jlsand6969@gmail.com

 

it might be ok but without you putting it all back in time theres no way to tell as far as im aware they can be very delicate i havent needed to strip and rebuild my engine yet so my knowledge is very limited sorry i couldnt be more help!!!!

 

The worst thing that would happen is the piston hits the valves and bends the valves and/or puts a hole in the top of the piston. I've had it happen to me years ago on a Warrior. Depending on how it's out of time, you may be OK. Before you start an engine for the 1st time after reassembly, it would wise to turn the engine over with a wrench to make sure nothing binds up before you try to start it with the starter.

 

It probably did not hurt anything.

You have an "interference engine", like lots of cars and motorcycles. This
means that the valves will hit the piston when they are at or near
maximum lift while the piston is at or near top-deadcenter.

Most likely your cam chain is off a tooth or 2 in one direction or the other.
If you cranked the engine with no horrible noises, there was probably no
valve-piston interference. More than a few teeth, and you need at least
new valves.

Your manual shows how to access the TDC and timing marks on the
flywheel. When the flywheel is at TDC, you need to remove the cam
sprocket and move the chain to where the index mark lines up properly.
You can test the timing with a timing light while cranking the engine,
even if it does not start.

This is not a hard job, but (sadly) too scary for most owners to attempt.
