lstevens76 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Coil wires and plugs were $400? That's kind of steep. Your sure the timing is correct? Post pictures of the timing marks would be a good place to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdeadeye1 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 You might try checking the cam bolts. Make sure you seated the cams in the correct position, and that you torqued down your cam bolts. I would also check the crank sprocket. check that you are indeed using the timing mark on the very back of the sprocket and not the one up front of the sprocket. Did you have the intake off the top of the engine? Check the "crank sensor" that it is connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstevens76 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Oh, check the crank sprocket for damage. Mine ran like that, but the crank sprocket was damaged. Replaced and problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine73 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Did you use the little hash marks to do the timing? Or did you use the arrows? Though if the arrows were used I don't believe it would start at all so that might not be it but using the arrows has certainly happened at least a few times in other posts.

Fairtax4me Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Oh, check the crank sprocket for damage. Mine ran like that, but the crank sprocket was damaged. Replaced and problem solved. X2 Broken reluctor tab on the crank sprocket will cause problems just like this. Make sure all 6 tabs are on the outer edge of the sprocket.
