Is the fuel pump still running whilst cranking?
Can hear it ignition on, but not when the starter is going.

Damn. I was thinking it was one of those multipin modern connectors rather than that chunky old school indestructible one!

What a ballache.
It will be something small and insignificant, just hard finding the damn thing!!
Good luck

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
Sorry if I missed this further up the thread but basic questions sometimes are the best.
1. Is there fuel in the tank?
2. Is the fuel pump running?
3. Is power getting to the ECU?

Re: Assessing an unknown engine
Fair enough, that’s broken! Slipped timing chain maybe?
Valves may look ok but probably warrant replacement.

Re: Assessing an unknown engine
There’s no (visible) scoring on the bores from that damage?
Difficult to see from the photos, but is the top of the piston clean or is it some deposit build ups that then look like damage?

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
The clicky bit might still work but a pin (male or female side) can be out of place. Can you get to it and have a look inside both halves?

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
Maybe a pin backed out when the connector was stressed? Or maybe it broke a wire inside?

Anything coming out of the injectors? Forgot plug the ECU in?

Re: Assessing an unknown engine
Diesel has been known to loosen things off?
That and (maybe not at the same time!) heat around the edge of the piston whilst gently tapping it with the handle of a heavy hammer.

The work I’ve had since we last met I think I’ll count as new again…

Re: Assessing an unknown engine
I’ve used a similar massive crows foot in the past with success. Can’t remember about the tensioner, but I guess that’s the way.

Bit of gravel inside the heat exchanger?
