too bad the problem is cam to crank timing related........

“some compression”????? Yeah! (I guess...)

Head lifting is also possible...

The really fun thing is when the flywheel key shears on a Briggs. No compression loss like the Jeep, but ignition timing way off and no start despite everything turning... except for when the flywheel starts to slow down as it’s spinning after a pull. *Yank* turn turn turn (slows) PHUT PHUT. At that point it seems like it’s taunting you.

Stock compression on these was a tiny six and a half to one, so relatively good compression for one is not a very big number. Likely no more than 80psi for a fresh GoDevil at some altitude, and for this engine even less - which isn’t to say he shouldn’t still have nearly 70. Whether he has it or there is a timing issue reducing it still, unknown.

yes the head can lift, but when it does, it blows out the headgasket, and IT WILL STILL RUN.......... just very badly, with an extreme loss of power, but it runs. from the sounds of things though the jeep engine is not doing much.
when a head lifts it doesnt just shut itself off going down the road. it usually drops a cylinder, and then gets worse taking another with it, until it runs so poor it wont pull itself down the road. but you can still fire them up, and they WILL idle, with a lot of effort to keep them running.....
good thought though......

the fun stuff, is when the timing stuff lines up for a split second and things light off(or backfire) to make you wonder.
, had a ford did that, broke the distributor shaft, and it quit running, and it popped like crazy coming to a stop when it quit running (put it in a high gear and dumped the clutch to try and start it) it was dead, then while you would crank on it, it would pop at odd times, sometimes out the carb, sometimes out the exhaust. but then it caught in the original spot where it was supposed to sit and stayed running, at idle.you give it too much gas, and it would die again. took a little while to figure out what had happened too.

My dad’s first genius fix was when, as a kid, he proposed flipping the hex shaft dizzy drive on the family ‘64(?) Falcon wagon over. It was rounded off, but only on the shallow end. My granddad was too distracted trying to keep everybody calm to have gotten there before my dad did.
Sounds like you might be talking about inside the dizzy, though. That’s a neat trick.

its a real neat trick, when you’re trying to figure out what went wrong, and the distributor is spinning just fine. finally figured it out while looking at it, and for no good reason just giving the rotor a good twist, and it just kept going...... it seemed to have gotten so that it wasnt getting enough lubrication, and got itself hot, and in a bind. after it would cool down a bit it would somewhat spin. good times........

The best part about this isn’t the eternity it takes to figure out you lost the key, but the hellish endeavor that sometimes results when trying to remove the flywheel with half a sheared key wedged 90 degrees away from the keyway.
