Please can you advise on a couple of problems.
Toyota Carine as described radiator leak and was not noticed immidiately in the dark .
Let it cool down then put water in but not as cool as though , initialy ok when filling then plenty steam.
Anyway when tried to restart found no compresion engine just spin over with no resistance. The timing belt was still in the correct position and the pistons are moving.
My first thoughts were head gasket gone or head or block cracked.
However have removed some components and now ready to remove cylinder head retaining bolts . THIS GAVE AN UNEXPECTED PROBLEM ! As a Japaneses car ,be it made in Englend, I fuly expected them to be a metric size ? but what ?
A 10 socket wil l not fit on and an 11 slips badly ?
Is it a special tool ? It also came as a suprise to see bolt heads of such a smal size for something that would generally take some torking down ? (not looked at that figure yet but presuming quite high ) Also is this model prone to piston ring failure if overheated. Obviously have not seen head gasket yet due to above problem but it causes concern that no compresion virtually at all as any head gasket one has sen gone in past usually has a bit left (compresion) even if only on one or two cylinders ?
please can you advise
