With the way the engine is turning over it would seem some cylinders don't have as much compression as others. Are you sure the valves are adjusted correctly? Do you have fuel pressure?

Rockets to tight loosen to they chatter and then tighten when engine is running

The engine has to be running first before the "rockets" can be adjusted, Maj. Tom.

Lol sorry I'm on the phone it it does what it wants to do...rockers is what I meant

I know. Just bustin' some chops.

Sometimes, however in this instance it would appear you were anxious to try and be clever and it didn't work out too well for you. My response was in reference to old93camaro's suggestion to adjust rockers while engine is running. If you need me to take you through step by step to aid you in understanding I'd be more than happy.

the motor cranks great when i unplug the coil. it sounds even all round. and iv done the rockers 4 times and there is no way they r too tight. if anything i might have done em too loose. im gettin almost 50 psi when the pump primes and when i crank.

have you checked for injector pulse though?

SS RRR

iTrader: (2)

Might be a dumb question, but did you make sure the opti harness is plugged in?
Also, I'd at least do a compression check on all cylinders. They sound horribly uneven.

but they sound very even when i unplug the coil and crank

Reads like some sort of timing issue then...

SexyTransAm

Yea that what I thought and y I pulled the timing cover back off. But it all lines up. So I'm goin to pop the cap off the opti tonight and see if I see anything wrong

SexyTransAm

iTrader: (6)

No I haven't. But they never came off the intake when I
pulled it off. and it ran just fine before I pulled it apart

pulled the opti apart tonight and the wheel inside is bent and rubbing the senson

New cap and rotor it is! That could very well have been why you have been having these problems.

Dowel pin too long?

SexyTransAm

iTrader: (6)

no the dowel isnt too long. when i put the opit on the 1st time it didnt go on right and im sure thats is what bent the wheel.

SS RRR

Ew... never supposed to force the opti on. Regardless if it's a splined shaft or dowel pin it should go on very easily.

i didnt really force it on lol. there was just a very lil space between the opti and the front cover. and this being my first time putting an opti on i didnt know it should be flush. but live and learn i guess. so after my new opti comes in everything should be fine.
