Have you checked for compression? Is the timing correct? Is there simply something not plugged in?

UBHSTRY Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Yes, take it ALL apart, line all of your timing marks up, on the cams, crank etc, then reinstall :D Trust me, once you get it right, it will have been worth all the trouble it is to learn and do B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
