Re: having issues

check the balancer to see if it slipped.. looks fine. it aligns with how you said it should..

so i dont think i need to even put the new one on.. thatll save me $50 bux and eliminates that..

It's going to run like crap with the timing set to 0 Degrees and the tan wire disconnected. You nedd to connect the tan wire after its timed to zero so the engine is getting the ~25 degrees of timing the ECM is calling for

Re: having issues

Set it to 0 with the tan wire disconnected, connect the wire. You should see about ~25 degree of timing at idle (you can double check to see what your scan tool says the ECM is commanding, if its running like crap it may be something different though)

You can move onto further troubleshooting the problem, but until your timing is set properly you will have a hard to time diagnosing the problem.

Re: having issues

no i havent done comp. i forgot i let someone borrow my comp tester and i cant get ahold of them.. so i just pulled the valve covers.. on tdc cyl 1, they all seem fine except intake on cyl 3 and 2 are tight at closed position.. nuthin like others

and on cyl 4 tdc.. all are fine except exhaust on cyl 3 at closed pos. is real tight

im thinkin my cam is off for some reason.. i dont know if im thinkin that just cuz of how much work it will be or because of all the issues from the previous build of the motor that i ended up having with this build..

im prolly just thinkin the worst cuz thats how its been so far..im about to call it quits for the day.. im gettin pretty frustrated with it

Re: having issues

If it was valve timing or ignition timing, all cylinders run the same- bad. It sounds like its running on 3 or 4 cylinders. Checked crossed wires, unplugged injectors, stuck/plugged up injectors. But to rule out mechanical issues without doing an actual compression test, first disable the ignition coil and crank the motor. Listen to the motor. You should hear even pulses while cranking. If you don't know what that sounds like disable a good running motors coil and listen to what it sounds like. The starter strains agaist compression, if there is a valve too tight it will hang open and have no compression. The starter will breeze right past that cylinder as if the spark plug was out. May sound basic but sometimes that is where you have to start. Try this before tearing stuff apart. Good luck

Re: having issues

Also, if you do pull the valve covers a correctly adjusted valve train will typically show the same amount of threads above the rocker hold down nut- about 2 or 3 threads. Just for reference

So ur saying that when the rockers are tightened down.. The allen bolt in the center of the hold down nut should be sticking up past the hold down nut a few threads.. If thats what your meaning i dont see how that would be correct.. They would be way over tightened.. Everytime ive adjusted them on this motor this time on the full rebuild and the first time i did just the head gaskets.. The allen bolts n the center were a few threads below the tops of the hold down nuts i will get pics up tomorrow of how all the rockers look after they are adjusted.. Let u guys see and tyen we can go from there.. But u guys are pretty much saying its the valve adjustments that u are thinkin is off?? Or that the cam is out of time???

Re: having issues

If the nuts are above the studs instead of a few threads sticking up above the nuts they would be loose, not tight, so you would hear valve clack(and maybe not be opening)

He has aftermarket roller rockers with poly locks (from the picture posted), their is no way that the rocker stud threads will show on those.

Re: having issues

My Ty does exactly the same sometimes - it shakes like hell, especially when cold (I mean really cold - its -15C now). When it warms up it tends to get better, it can even run smooth for some time. But then revs start to occasionally drop down a bit, like misfires. And I can feel like pulses of power drop when i'm accelerating.
I hope that's just plugs, I'll find that out in a few days.

Check your ingnition like I suggested earlier in this thread, its fast and easy.

Re: having issues

On yours, the allen locking nut should be 3 or 4 threads below the surface of the rocker nut - assuming you have the short poly locks.

So you have a couple of options today - comp test it or readjust your valve and lash settings.

People seem to agree your lifters will be the stock ones so go 1/4 to 1/2 turn and you're good - Dave gave you all the instructions for those.
