Hey guys got my motor back it and started for the first time. Started up and ran rough. Seems like the passenger bank is not firing. I checked timing and camshafts all good. Would a bad crank sensor or cam sensor cause this? Could i have put the crank trigger wheel on backwards? Any suggestions...
Hey guys, wondering what to expect from compression leakdown for rering, with heads having valve job? I know this will not be accurate, because rings haven't seated. Just want to get some ball park numbers for some piece of mind before it goes back in.
Thanks
