Engine won't start 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Homer on  Wed Aug 16 20:21 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Mine ('95 850@150k) would not start--a leakdown showed that it had no compression due to exhaust valves. While my mechanic wanted to do a valve job, advice here from Mr Rule 308 showed me that cranking the hell out of it would get it to start and then a high rev run would clean up the valve stems. All has been well since! Get a strong source of juice and crank it for 3 mins if nec!!
