2100.....I'm concerned that you are 180 out on the TDC. #6 is the opposite side of the cap, 180 out. Try setting TDC again. I'm thinking you are on the wrong stroke. That engine didn't sound that far off, just too advanced.

The ONLY way to do that is all at once. You have to get bids though to get a good price and they have to know that you are. Also anything AC has to bid off season to get a deal usually.
Well, you must have good position now. One that trumped your IT degree or you should of put it use already right ? IT goes up and up if your vigilant enough lol.

How old is the timing chain? Is it stretched?

No clue on how old it is, it moves ever so slightly but not much, maybe 1/8-1/4 of play

Ok you were right, I should have noticed that was 180 out. I did another turn and got the cylinder back up. I was just slightly off the 1 point with the rotor

Ok yeah I was curious about that. Was not positive I was on the compression stroke. That might save a head ache

Agreed Whitey, but his is NOT running currently. We are setting him back to stock so that his truck will run. LOL I know you read that. Must be the furnace being out. Your pilot is not on. ROFL.

Has anyone bought a hood insulator pad for their hood? I was just thinking, I don't have one on either truck. I've seen them on Gators and Expy's, and KR's. Just wondering if anyone put one in.
