engine problem! 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be slwrcar on  Mon Apr 4 12:53 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I have recently run into a large problem with my 142. It hasn't been running all that well for some time (very rough idle). I just looked at the spark plugs and they are oily! I checked the timing and point gap and they are normal. (points are new) Also, when trying to turn the engine by hand (turning the fan belt) I cannot turn it all the way around, the belt just slips on the crank pulley. I have pretty much come to the conclusion that the engine will need a full rebuild. If anyone has had similar symptoms with their B20 please let me know!
P.S If anyone knows of a sound B20 engine for sale for a reasonable price let me know

Thanks,

Chris (Calgary, Canada)
