Here is the update to my last post about my 245 not wanting to start. I took it in to a pro; the verdict is that the timing belt was off two teeth, he also got not so good compression readings on #4 cylinder. Just to clear myself, the timing belt was done by previous owner but I did check it; guess I missed the two teeth although you all know how hard it is to see. Anyway, the car started after that but has excessive crankcase pressure and he suspects broken rings or defective pistons. In a nutshell, anyone need a 89 245 parts car. Do ya think the excessive pressure could be caused by all the fuel being dumped in there during the start attempts? Do you think it will get better if try to keep it running? Just a thought. Thanks for all the help from everyone and sorry for the long post.

Doug
