    92 SC400 Did timing/water pump/ignition system upgrades engine cranks but wont start up

    I did check compression once after the initial startup and all cylinders were consistent 185-190, so I doubt it would be the piston rings

    92 SC400 Did timing/water pump/ignition system upgrades engine cranks but wont start up

    Hey buddy, I realized that I didnt tighten the crank bolt to spec(rookie mistake!), of course causing the motor to run rough. It still smokes on startup though. From my extensive research, It seems that all signs point to the valve stem seals, as after I did the timing job I acquired the...

    Took my time as I had life issues to deal with, but I've made some rather interesting discoveries with my sc. I rechecked the timing and the cam pulleys and balancer were all still lined up, and the timing belt is fine. Checked fuel by disconnecting the lower hose on the driver side of engine...

    92 SC400 Did timing/water pump/ignition system upgrades engine cranks but wont start up

    Just finished up the timing job on my 92 sc400 and put it back together last night and tried to turn it on for the first time in a month and it just will not start. As I crank it longer, I notice a rather loud spark noise and one of the last times I tried to start it I heard that same noise...
