the other day on my way home, I began to hear a belt squeel. i didnt think much of it since i knew that my ac belt wasnt connected properly. 2 minutes later, the car immediatly starts pinging. I pulled over and shut the car off immediatly.
So i tow the car home, and start taking her apart. timing belt looks fine (not shredded or falling apart), so i look on the ground and notice there is some drops of coolant on the floor. I take the water pump belt and pully off, the ac, the alt., the ps pump, all the accesories off. i start the car and it still pings.
I took the valve cover off, and everything seems to be ok in there (nothing is out of place, cracked, etc....).
i manualy turn the crank until the exhaust and intake cam marks are at 3 and 9 o clock. They line up perfect (put a ruler across and they are right in line).
what do I check now? It totaly sounds like my valves are hitting the tops of the pssitons.
HELP
