is it possible for a piston to had hit the valve from the timing being off and trying to start it? a friend of mine that is a mechanic said that it is possible. the number 1 piston is up.

 

Yes the h22 is an interference motor.
If this did happen your motor is shot/in need of a rebuild.

I really hope this didnt happen to u bro.
I was looking forward to seeing your sol in action.

 

i know me to. i hope it didnt.

 

will notching the valves interfere with compression?

 

they notched the pistons not the valves and yea these are higher compression pistons they used on that link(jspec type s pistons) i gave you
I dont think the notching affected compression. Then again i dont know, you would have to ask someone that has experience in those things.

 

o ok ..

 

Its a 50 50 chance that ur fine , fix timing start it n see

 

looks like one cams miss aligned

 

not to be an ass but i know its off timing .. the question was from it being off timing is there a possibility one of the pistons hit the valve.
