Alright guys I have been spending the last 6 months trying to get this k2500 done and it has been ups and downs the whole way.
This being my first vehicle and being 16 I have DIY’d everything. About two months ago I found coolant in the oil after replacing water pump that had gone and I knew head gasket may be an issue. Fast forward a couple weeks the heads are out, I find a crack in a coolant line in one head of course. I bought a new 906 head and had both good heads magnafluxxed and resurfaced.
I have now got everything back together with new gaskets, but have one problem. The damn thing won’t start, it cranks and sputters and backfires but just sounds like timing is off. I had no clue how this could be but I took the distributor out as that is the only thing I touched that would effect timing and put it back in top dead center compression and installed it making sure the cam sensor was facing towards number 1 cylinder tower all like I did the first time.
Go to start it, same thing but maybe a little closer to starting. I moved the distributor in every which way I could, but still nothing, just backfires more or less. Thinking possibly faulty distributor somehow? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I get my licence in a week and want to get the thing on the road. Thanks.
