    Saw have a PM, sorry, they are a little behind. The timing belt can be 1-2 teeth off without damage, should be safe on that end.

    This time, make sure you rotate the crank a few times and both mark should line up every 2 turns of the crank (720*). It's easy to have too much slack on one side of the belt - I usually back the crank up 1 tooth, install belt, then rotate crank until the bottom timing mark is on to take up that slack.

        Got it running !! The tube that goes from the intake to the bottom of the engine still had the zip tie holding the spring so i can get it in better. I pulled the zip tie and the metal tube fell into place and it literally turned on with the turn of the key effortlessly. I want to thank Beef, Firebird, and Kamotors for messaging back forth with me and helping me figure it all out. Now im going to enjoy her. First exhaust and then some tires :)

              Sorry if I missed anything but did you get the head checked out and was it warped?

                Yes, the head was warped and we had it resurfaced. Car has been running great at 12lbs of boost.

                          I've been there before! Bought a 500 hp supra and it stopped running the same day. Never fixed it but luckily the guy bought it back, for less money :/
                          Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!
