    Best method to install new Rocker Arms

    Finally getting the car back together. Original no start problem was no compression in the #1 caused by broken ring. Reassembly is in progress. I did not assembly the rockers last time, but my friend can't help, so I'm on my own. What is the best method to assure correct installation of...

    New Engine won't start, HELP!!!!

    Well the plugs are wet, when I take them out they are dripping with fuel. I just figured the amount of times I've tried starting it, I probably removed any oil there is on the walls.

    Consecutive low compression in all cylinders could mean that the problem of fuel washed cylinders exists. This means that the engine has had too much fuel introduced into it and all of the oil has been washed off the cylinder walls. The oil creates a sealing effect between the piston and ring...

    New Engine won't start, HELP!!!!

    I'm starting to question everything I did. Everything was in there, I know that much. I put in new lifters, rods and 1.7 rockers. I had the machine shop port the heads and put the new springs in, with the valve polish. Cam timing was straight up with a new chain. I followed the proform...

    Problem is I can't feel any air coming out of the #1 plug hole. So I guess it's time to start taking it back apart. The only part I didn't assemble myself was the shortblock, and that was straight from Ford. Maybe a bad ring. Dunno.

    How'd you tell the dizzy was out 180? I've tried the thumg method, screwdriver method, all different types and can't verify which stroke i'm on. Plus I just found out my timing indicator is bent, so I'm not sure exactly where the point is.

    No difference at all with the starting fluid. Something is wrong somewhere, I just don't know where else to look.

    On an EFI car, where do I spray the starting fluid? Take off the air filter and MAF, or what?

    Yeah I apprecaite it. I'm just starting to be afraid I don't have any compression. How hard should it be to turn the motor with a breakerbar and a socket?

    New Engine won't start, HELP!!!!

    Yeah, I've tried it both ways. I just took all the plugs out, cleaned them, dried them. Blew the cylinders dry with air, and restabbed the dizzy. Stabbed it both ways. Still not a bit of difference. I'm done, I don't know what else to try. It;s getting towed to a shop on Monday I guess...

    Screwdriver in the plug 1 hole, O on the harmonic balancer. Stab the new Dizzy with the rotor aligned with the #1 on the cap. Slight twist counterclockwise to get the 10degrees for Ford. Marks also line up with Block and Distributor shaft mark. I appreciate the help, and I still need it...

    Could sitting for a month while doing the build turn the gas? I had the fuel lines disconnected and sealed the ends in plastic ziploc bags to prevent seapage, but maybe thats the problem?? idk

    New Engine won't start, HELP!!!!

    Yeah, that's what I got back too as well. I'm wondering if my pointer bracket is bent or something, maybe when its pointing 0 it's not quite 0? Any other suggestions on how to approach the timing, cause I've done and tried everything suggested, and it still doesn't start. Should I try...

    I'm going to swap the innards from the new one to the old one, and see if it will work that way.

    That's what I thought, but the new dizzy base is built different than the stock one was. It has a flat bar on the side that only allows it to go in one way, and turn only so much.
