Your automatic tensionner is above the water pump on this 1.6DOHC. And you have to set the tension by rotating this water pump.

WOW amazing, wouldn't surprise me if thats the reason for the head gasket failure. They crippled water circulation by pluging both ends like that, I'm pretty sure car had to be running hot like that.

hi, do a comp test doesnt matter if hot or cold.
then put a capful of oil approx 25 ml.
take another comp test.
if it shoots up in comp a fair bit , its the rings that are worn.
if it goes up a bit it be the valves.

hi, any body know how to remove the camshaft bolt ? engine is still in car, doest seem to be anywhere to grab the cam to stop it turning..
