Well i started out pulling my engine out of my 2000 silverado because i bent the number 7 connecting rod i tore down the engine cleaned everything out and i checked my crank and cylinder walls for damage i got luck there was no damage i pulled it just in time so i ordered a new rod and piston from the dealer after i got the parts i started putting everything together by the service manual i got from chiltons i replaced the cam with the 02 ls6 cam,lifters and 7.425 pushrods also the ls6 valve springs new timing chain had everything top dead center completed the engine rebuild. i dropped the engine back in went smooth put all my grounds back on put the intake on coils new ac delco iridium plugs msd spark plug wires i didnt replace the cam position sensor and crank sensor. i got everything back together primed the engine went for initial start up and it just cranked and cranked spun great but no fire pulled the spark plug had and intermitent spark but sparkd had fuel getting to it but just wouldnt start when i pressed the gas pedal down all the way it had little pops coming out the exhaust but that was pretty much it is there something i missed iv always had a distributor my first computer controlled vehicle any help would be very appreciative ive built engines before and never not been able to start with a little tinkering HELP!! thanks
