My cousin bought a track kit from summit, it came with Trick Flow twisted wedge heads, Trick Flow upper and lower manifolds, 75 mm throttle body and egr spacer, cam, rocker arms, "performance" timing gears set, and 30 lbs injectors. We did the swap ourselves taking lots of pictures when disassembling for reference and double and triple checked everything when assembling. We had the #1 piston at TDC and assembled the timing gear as it should be for that condition, all markings lined up perfectly. Torqued everything to specs, had the rocker arms set at zero lash and finished up everything else. Anyway, today we tried to start the car and it wouldn´t, it cranks, but that´s about it. We have spark, fuel, and did a complete compression check, they all came at 140 psi or better. Played a little with the timing with the same result....nothing.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.
