S130Z Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Your cam timing may be off. Did you make sure the cam gear was in the correct place when you got it back from the machine shop. I know when I got mine back I had to double check it, and sure enough it was in a different spot. Also, did you make sure the timing chain did not fall into the front cover while you had the head off? And did you make sure to mark what link on the chain went on a corrisponding tooth before you took it off? If you did not do any of these, you will most likly need to putt the front cover and redo your timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) Also a good valve clearence check would probably help. Besides its just good practice check.

letoburito23 Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 Yeah when i got the head back from the shop the cam gear was off and i put it on before i put the front cover on cause i realized that without taking that off i couldnt get the chain tensioner or cam gear back on. I followed everything exactly how the haynes/chiltons and the factory repair manual says to do but ive tinkered aroud with vacuum lines and its running now any ideas on how to keep broken injector clips in place?

S130Z Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 .....any ideas on how to keep broken injector clips in place? Get new ones, it's worth it. I spent like $20 bucks on ebay for new ones and it really makes a difference. As long as you know how to solder, its really easy to do.
