College teacher - What a ****
Well yeah anyway, had to do a headgasket on a VW polo '92 reg 1300. Took head off etc, cleaned it all up, and then me and my mate told the
teacher, he said hell cum help us lift it back in, and the inlet valve on cylinder 2 was open, and the pistons in numbers 2 + 3 where open, And he
didnt realise. We carried on, he told us what to do, so we did it.. He told us to tighten head bolts up, and that it would be tight (Told us this when
he was doing one) Then it made all bad noises etc.. and he said its just the rust (Inside a oil rich engine? :\) like i said, we did it all, then
went to start it, and it missed like a pig. So we did cylinder leakage test, which was showin it was leaking, and guess what? He bent the valve, and
tried blaming on me and my mate ! 
If that dont make sense, its cos its too long :\ My apologies lol

If you knew it was wrong, shouldn't you have said something?

Yeah, make sure all pistons are in middle of the block :\ And to listen to other teachers instead maybe, cos one of the MA's said he was a nob
like that..

Surely not just make sure the pistons are in the middle of the block but make sure the cams are in phase with the pistons...

Should you not turn the engine over by hand first to avoid any damage?

Those that CAN...DO
Those than CANT... TEACH:
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Actually you usually find those that 'can't' also make shockingly bad teachers as well.
My wife is a teacher, a good one, and she's much brighter than most people I know and works a damn sight harder for more hours than most
on here.

when you stripped the head off and cleaned it you or your mate must have turned the cam or the cranck as it wouldnt have come off in that position
or it would already have been damaged i dont think is fair to blame the teacher if you had set the job upright to start with the valve wouldnt have
been bent on tightening the head down

The head came off, the cam wasnt touched, the thing that went wrong, i THINK, was when he tried taking the bottom crank pulley off.. Didnt let us do
it incase we broke it.. And i think it musta turned over abit then :S
