If you have fuel, spark and compression then all it can be is the timing. The cas is a bitch to get right. If all else fails just start pulling it and moving it one tooth at a time and you will eventually get lucky and get it to start.

it doesnt even look like the mating marks can mate up to the marks on the sprockets...they are too far apart

What parts did you switch over?

On the timming chain, did you remove and reinstall it, or just take the cam cover off, then align the marks up?

Let me know.

ok , i did the whole timing over AGAIN for the 2nd time...did it perfectly , cams facing outwards , pistons at TDC, matched up the marks and bolt it all back together...


started right up!

but it sounds like absolute SHIT!, like a machine gun ...do i have to mess with the CAS?
