Note : #2, #6, #8 had oil in the spark plug tubes. Cleaned tubes. New Coils in #2 & #8
Due to soaking in oil, the rubber boot on the tip of coil 2 & 8 was loose.
All Plugs replaced , no real difference.
Coil Replaced on #8
Error Logs report misfire on cylinder #1, #2, #3, #5, #7
Before replacing plugs misfire #2 & #8
Error Code is P0365 - Cam Sensor Bank 1 exhaust has been replaced.
Dark now, will check connections in the morning.
Compression test on TIS, #2 @ 8% lower.
Not sure what the tolerance should be.
Will investigate fuel / injectors as motor sounds like 5 cylinders running.
results from TIS compression test. AVG is 166 , lowest is #2 at -8%
None of those numbers look like what I would expect from our compression ratio. Throttle blade was wide open for the test?
I am using the test in techstream . I believe it "calculates" the force on each cylinder. I have very little to go on, but it appears that each cylinder has similar force on them.
This is on a cold engine / car does not run for more than 5 seconds.
I saw your video re: chain tensioner, when the car turns over it sounds similar or worse. Metalic rattle plus misfire
I think the next step is to remove the valve cover and check the timing. Fingers crossed that the timing chain / tensioners / valves are ok.
Mechanic diagnosed issue as broken chain. He put a camera into the cam sensor hole and saw the cam was not moving.
We are looking for a replacement engine.

That's a first for this forum. Very sorry to hear that news.
Not sure, potential some red flags,
1. 10 days before I had a metallic noise & a sulphur smell at high rpm - at the time I thought maybe headers - should have got it tested..
2. the same day, there was a "wheel bearing" type noise for 2-3 seconds @ 40kmph 1.5-2k rpm. - appeared to disappear when moving the steering wheel
3. at t=0 car was at idle at junction. - engine stopped with a metallic noise. sounded like something let go.
I know valve inspection was not done. maybe should have & it could picked issue up earlier.

...wow! Sorry about that news....any idea how the chain would snap on this motor as you don't hear of that very often at all on the 2UR-GSE any ideas?
