i got a 91 eclipse gs 1.8 and i was replacing the power steering line and i just got that all done and i started it up and it was still on the jack stands and it started to clicking. first i thought it was the lifters due to lack of oil so i let it down and poured some more oil in just to be safe and its still knocking and i have oil pressure, i did a cold compression check and 2-4 reads about 165 each and number 1 reads about 125. now the engine has only ben ran about 15 seonds at idle total since its ben clicking. so i think the timing belt slipped or somthign. so my question is before i go and tear it all down is how do i check the timing cus i dont see any marks on the pulleys, and if the timing did get outta wack could i just set it the timing again would it be fine or would i need a new valve or have the valve seated or somthing? any help would be great cus its gotta be fixed by the 11th thanks.

first, are you sure its a gs? im pretty sure that the gs model came with a 2.0, not a 1.8. when you say pulley's does that mean you have 2 cam pulley's? i also think the 1.8 liter engine is a SOHC

The 1.8 is a sohc. Im not sure if the 91's used a chrysler engine or not. Usually that is what comes in a gs.

yeah im sure its a gs, but heres a picture of the engine and it is a sohc 1.8 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v223/rac...66/DSCF0944.jpg

theresa close up before i cleaned it up abit

just remember that there is a data plate on the firewall driver side. lf you can still read it they will tell you what motor. and yep lits a 1.8 which is a 4g37.

so if i jsut re align the cam would that stop the knocking/clicking?
