OK People, I need some info on known problems.
351 (5.8) Checking the timing.... TDC, rotor pointed about DUE RIGHT of #1, NOT at #1.
Did the 180 thing on the crank, (one full turn) Now Rotor is DUE LEFT of #1.
Lifted distributor, moved rotor to #1, belches, and sounds like it's out (won't start).
Lifted distributor again, (in case I was on "180 out") and did a 180 on distributor, NOPE, still wouldn't start.
In the end I put the rotor back to where it was in the first place.
It starts, BUT runs rough.
ANYONE think the timing chain jumped ???? is this a problem with this engine,
173K km (about 110k miles).
