Switch (by accident) the coil pack connectors on moth sides of the engine. Instead of 1-3-2-4, it goes 3-1-4-2.
Pop pop gurgle furgle pop furgle pop pop.
Oops.
But seriously now.
In trying to dry out the cyls, I removed the plugs (which were coated in a gas oil mixture) and turned the engine over my hand with a socket on the crank bolt. Just for fun, I wanted to see how different it would feel turning it the same way with the plugs back in. In went the plugs, I I could tell no real difference.
The engine had been cold for a day, but I should have heard some air going through the valves, or the PCV system shouldn't I?
Does Julian still have the leakdown tester?

Re: Want to make funny sounds with your engine?
If you leave the spark plugs out for a day (even in this frigid cold!) it should dry the cycl out. I have the compression tester here that you are more than welcome to borrow. I'm home all day and all weekend, so feel free to drop by

Re: Want to make funny sounds with your engine?
Wow, I hope everything is okay!
My gut reaction is that all should be fine as combustion never took place. Your pistons were never in a position to impact the valves as the timing belt had never moved. Your cyclinders are just awash with fuel (though the oil mixture is a bit troubling).
I'm crossing my fingers.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was just the oil that was coating the cycl walls that came off from the gas sitting in there. Washing of the cycl walls FTLdrwrx wrote:(though the oil mixture is a bit troubling).

Re: Want to make funny sounds with your engine?
It was self sustaining with one bank hooked up right. Sounded like butt though. That is when I went back and switched the order on the other bank to match the first. Too bad the first bank was the one that was wrong.drwrx wrote:My gut reaction is that all should be fine as combustion never took place.
Once I got the wires all right, started it up just fine and idle was smooth. I'm not worried about it, but just thought I should have had more resistance to the crank turning when the plugs were in.

I'm glad to hear that all is well, you had me worried there.
