I have a Palio 1.6 16v 2002 also broke cam belt, bent valves, had the whole head re engineered, new valves, seats, seals, shims. Car was great until it overheated (water bottle had a crack in it). Had the head skimmed again..valves, seals etc seemed to be fine. After reassembling it is now misfiring intermittently. Compression test shows no 3 piston is very low. Left it for a day and ran another compression test the following day and has increased but not enough. Question - do I take the head off and run a pressure test? Could one of the valves have got damaged from overheating?
This car has been nothing but problems over the last 4 years. Seriously want to send it bungee jumping without a rope:slayer:
