w124 m104 need help again
i got everything bolted back together from a head gasket change..fill the fluids..start the car. runs and sounds like absolute ****. leaking coolant from somewhere on the back of the engine ..but not the heater hose, hooked up a vac guage its oscillating from 2-5hg. feels like its only running on 3 cylinders. idles at 800 and revs up pretty quick when you give it gas. no codes..no backfiring..no smoke
ill run a compression check but it kinda seems like i f-ed up my head gasket repair somehow. everything went together smoothly im a lil disappointed and a little bit frustrated actually it looks like its only leaking from that o-ringed water line under the thermostat. so thats an easy fix.

It almost sounded as if you solved with the last line "actually it looks like its only leaking from that o-ringed water line under the thermostat. so thats an easy fix. " but maybe not.

What would cause the back 3 cylinders to not fire? I started the engine cold and checked the exhaust ports for heat. Cylinders 4 5 6 are ice cold while 1 2 3 quickly heated up.

Perform a compression test before further diagnosis

Cylinder 6 has zero compression. Guess I need to do a leak down test now to figure out exactly what’s going on. Maybe a valve got damaged somehow?

How did you time? did you verify the positions of the cams with a 4mm pin flat against the head surface? crank at OT? intake sprocket turned CW?

Yup did everything. I’m 100 percent the timing is spot on. I checked.. rotated the engine double checked.. rotated a few times checked again. Variable Intake cam sprocket turned clockwise. I ran a shope inside and there’s no physical damage. Piston top is untouched.

Post the compression data of all 6 cyl with spark plugs removed. Obviously there is a mechanical fault (since 0 compression at cyl #6) I would get that sorted first.

Ok I’ll do that after work.
The only thing I can think of is that I put a lil bit of oil on the cylinder walls .. maybe it pooled on the piston and hydro locked or I had an issue with the exhaust cam being out of timing when I installed the head. I didn’t force anything. Maybe that was enough to bend a valve a little.

Head is off. Number 6 valves are bent a lil. Not fully seating.
