Choice will text you tonight.

update on the car.

I got head gasket sorted Saturday torqued down and every thing back on. got excited and tried starting it and nothing. It just keeps turning over and over not even sounding like its going to kick into life

As far as i can tell everything that i pulled off has been put back on, and I've exhausted my knowledge on trying to fix it as i know little about these motors.

any ideas what it could be??

Possibly time for a engine conversion as i have a feeling these L-Series don't like me.

Cheers

How much of the electronics did you pull off, did you remove the dizzy etc?

Yea removed the Dizzy but put it on the same as last time when i got it running. its getting spark no problem. also getting fuel.

if I cant get it going would you mind popping round after work one day this week and ill flick you some cash or beer or something.

Check your firing order and make sure leads are round right way, also throw new plugs in l series can be bitches for eating plugs.

Stick a timing light over it.

Have also checked firing order. will get new plugs this week

Timing light is flashing in pretty much the right spot when you are cranking it? Are the plugs wet when you take them out?

There's only 3 things you need for combustion and it sounds like you've got them all so that would make me think the timing is wrong.

This thing is still beating me .......

I've chucked a timing light over it, its hitting pretty much the right spot. plugs are a little wet when i take them out, forgive me for my ignorance but that would indicate what?

anymore info would be much appriciated

Quick question

If the inlet cam lope is gong down in compression stroke and the exhaust up on cylinder one, the crack pully should be reading TDC yea?
