Also if you can get down there to see there is a mark for the locator pin on the pulley put that straight up and the timming mark should be on 0 if it is not then you need a new harmonic balancer 100 or so $ Retarded timming and no exhaust flow will make egts go sky high

That's the funny thing...I did that and it all checked out....2 full turns and the mark was back at the TDC.


Locator pin?? not sure I follow. Do you mean the rectangular key or keyway or something like that, that sits on the pully to set it in place??

nah check this out

Engines only need 4 things to run.

-Fuel/air (check injectors/fuel pump, try a shot of carb clean to try to start it, ect.)
-Compression (even 100 psi will run an engine)
-Spark (enough for 1/2" gap minimum)
-The above mentioned occuring in the right order.

Start checking the systems one by one untill you find which one you don't have.

Okay...cool. I will take a look at this...that is interesting. This might be the problem.

Thanks for the pics bro.

Hopefully I wont be too busy and can start to tear into the engine to see this.

Well other than the compression test I did those and all ok. I will do a comp test as soon as I can get my hands on the tester gauge.

Anyone have one local to me??

OK so the short nose crank problem accured. The Kew way was messed up and so was the terminal on the crank. I am going to try to fix the problem with some JB weld. I heard some people were successful with that. But I know that its time for a new crank....yay!!!!

Thanks for the Help!!
