My buddy has a 84 toyota with a 22re engine. it has been leaking a little oil here and there. and it started leaking out of the PCV Valve. we put a new one in and it stopped leaking from up there. Then it has had a few radiator leaks we fixed them all. and then driving home the other night we went up a big hill. Going up the hill it starting losing power slower and slower.

The time before starting it. white smoke out of the exhaust and it took a little to start it. and it sounded like no compression in the top end.

So after losing power fully and not being able to move or start it.

We towed it up the hill with my truck and took it to the house. this morning we tried to start it and it had no compression in the top end. checked all the sparks and battery wires to make sure it was nothing there.

It sounds like no compression in the top end and the timing belt either snapped or came off. Anyone have any idea? i havent taken the top end off to look at it yet just want some ideas.

One main idea of mine is blown head. from white smoke and being hard to start. but it is a very clean looking engine and the guy he got it from said he rebuilt it and put it in about 30,000 miles ago.

 

i'd bet its a HG...... check the oil does it look like milkshake? is there oil in the radiator?

 

Compression test it and after that pull the timing chain cover! Any coolant leaks coming from around the head?

Also what Tofer said. Eric gave you some good tips last night over the phone have you done what he said to do yet?
