Ok guys - I think this is my issue, my neighbor is uot of town and he borrowed my timming gun, o I am not sure yet. Tell me what you think.

I have spark, and fuel in the rail, she turns over without an issue.
kind of sputters without starting.
The CPS checks out good (followed the write up - Thanks Guys)

BTW I would love to meet the engineer who put the timing lock down bolt ina nice position where youcan not get a socket on it, and a wrench is blocked by the motor mounts. What an idiot.
I need a 13mm crows foot to get that loose of couse I don't have one.

1) what do you all think? Timing chain?
2) How tough a job is this?
3) does the engine need to come out to replace it?
and here is the nice question...

4) what perfromance upgrade would you do while putting in a new chain?

Of course that is assuming that the valve train has not been destroyed by a jumped chain.

Thanks

 

heres what i think. go to sears and get a metric box and open set, maybe the ones that ratchet. then call your neighbor and yell at hime for not returning your tool before he left town.

performanct upgrade: you can put a 4.2 cam in while your at it. you will need to take the chain off to do this anyway, so nows your chance

 

I was planing on blowing 6psi of boost into her one day, the SC is on the shelf int he garage.

I's either this or a Cummins 4BT transplant, and sell the 4.0.

Not sre how big of a project I want right now.

 

Go with a 4BT.. or make it a 4.6L stroker
