verify mechanical timing is correct IE: cam timing

how do we check the cam timing ...yea we did both the head work and the 5 speed swap at the same time but its still the same block and when we were trying to start it and it started smoking

Set crank at TDC and make sure cam lobes face correct direction with correct chain link space.

well if you resurfaced it and replaced gaskets you should be fine unless you didnt change all the gaskets that you needed to and you probably have bad rings because your other pistons have less than normal compression but the other two are bad you need to seal everthing correctly and check if your valves are in good shape aswell =]

guessing those are cold compression numbers? check your headstuds to make sure they're torqued down right. and check timing and firing order. even with bad compression it should start but run like shit.

firing order is right and timing is fine
