Troubleshooting no fuel issue
#45
Bringing this back from the dead! So it turned out that spark, fuel, and timing were all right.
The machine shop screwed up big time. Long story short, I had to let my car sit till I could find somewhere heated to work on it. Said the hell with it, pulled the motor. When I pulled the pan there was gross muddy crap at the bottom of the oilpan. BLASTING MEDIA. Somewhere along the lines, machineshop has too many people working on one project, someone missed the whole (flush and clean oil passages) part of my invoice. Ruined my CP pistons and bearings. Luckily it didn't run, or it would have ruined my crank and rods.
The owner of the shop squared up with me, covered the pistons (biggest expense) since he didn't assemble it he hardly wanted to cover the pistons. Which I get but sucks.
Car has 150 miles on break-in and no issues.
