I've just finished a new head gasket install; my '92 K1500 is now completely reassembled.
However, I have crank but no start—no sputtering or firing of any kind. I will take the air filter off to look closer at the TB and do some troubleshooting after work tonight, but am looking to crowdsource some ideas of where to start looking.
Along with the new head gaskets (and all gaskets pretty much everywhere), here's what else I've done:
1. Machined cylinder heads, re-seated valves, adjusted valve lash
2. Install new timing chain/sprockets
3. Install new radiator and water pump (filled w/ 3 gallons coolant mix)
4. New thermostat
5. New TV cable
6. New oil pressure sensor
7. New distributor rotor/cap (installed using this method, exactly)
8. New return fuel line (front half, stops next to fuel filter)
Some other things that happened:
- Drained my entire gas tank by mistake
- Spilled ~2 quarts transmission fluid (some in my mouth/eyes) taking off the TV cable
I'm guessing it has something to do with fuel delivery and/or timing.
If you have any ideas to chase down, post them here and I'll do it tonight. Thank you for considering.
