Soo? Finally started some work on the rocker replacement. Here are some pics:













Uhm aren't those lines supposed to be lined up? The came gear and head are lined up and this is how the crank looks. Timing belt was done at 82k..

bump, help

When I did mine, they where right on. I found that turning (at the crank) in the running direction made the lines line up.

But those lines are supposed to line up and so are the ones at the cam right?

First find out if you have fuel

Then find out if you have spark

Whichever one is not working, trace it from the exit point to the point of origination

Fuel, does it come out of the injectors, if not, rail, FPR, Lines, Pump

Spark, use a spark plug and arc it to the valve cover, if it sparks, then its fuel or timing.

Also post or info whether it studders or just constantly cranks.

It would be hard to diagnose my health if all I told you is that I'm laying down and cant get up

Fuel is coming to the rail, I'll have to pull each injector out to see if fuel is coming. Spark is there.just constantly turns over. Once in a blue moon a sputter
