The Valves looked really good, when I had the engine apart. The fuel injectors are firing fuel (gas ), I have checked them. The pop is more of a spit back I also have a water leak, in the forward head gasket below cylinder 3 where the head mates with the crankcase. Many of the vacuum hoses were off as well. The rubber part that holds the wire in the housing of the distributor is gone, the wires are hanging out, but there are no shorts that I can tell.? It worries me that I cannot get the crankshaft pulley bolt to break loose. No loose wire brings the oil light on the dash on...? Thanks in Advance, Lyle |
