Default Wish me luck... possible bonfire tonight too!

Gonna try firing the car up again tonight. Cam is back at 0* valves all checked out straight, etc... just gotta put coolant and pushrods in the bitch and turn the key.

If it doesn't fire up, there will be a large bonfire at my house with alot of melted SOM parts scattered around the yard.

Bring the mashmellows and beer! She won't fire

Can someone please explain how I drove the car to where it sits and now it won't even run after a pushrod change??? Then changed the cam back to 0* and re-assembled and still won't run???

Bad fuel??? That is about the only thing I can think of. It has spark, it has fuel...

I'm standing over it with a match as we speak!!!

I need a damn scan tool, it has to be electrical. I am tempted to switch pushrods back to the ones that it ran with before (that I know are too long) just to see. Maybe the injectors aren't firing??? Fouled plugs???

I am giving it one more ALL DAYer tomorrow, then it goes to Don's pending his approval. After that it is JL WS6's for $5

Just drop it off at my house and be done with it.Probly a fuse from moving the coil packs for the pushrod change. Or even a ground on the back of the head.

Get a scan tool. Then you can call Don & tell him what you got.
