Hello

No amount of churning over with a new battery will induce the BN3's rebuilt=
 engine to fire. Even towing the car up and down the road failed to instill=
 any life into the engine.

Everything is spot on - timing, spark and fuel.

Anyone have an idea as to what the compression be on a rebuilt engine shoul=
d be?

Many thanks

Is it possible to install the cam backwards?  It is on some cars.
