She didn't sound very good but I could keep it running. I don't know if it's the car or me, but there was a lot of noise coming out of that head area. I have a lot of new parts so I don't know what to think about it. I have a lot of fear over the whole thing. Could it be the injectors, which are new/used. Or it might just be that the oil hasn't made its way to all the lifters yet. It's bunch of "tic"ing noises. (I only let it run for maybe a min tops)
Turns out I was 180* out. I pulled the sprockets off and held the chain up while I turned the eng all the way over. So the TDC mark lined back up on the fly wheel. One thing I noticed!!!!! After I set it all back up. I marked the chain when it was on the intake sprocket. After turning the eng over a couple times the chain never lined back up. The marks did with the flywheel but not the chain. Thinking back it kinda makes since. The chain doesn’t have to line up or keep up, just the cams to the flywheel. RIGHT?
I think I'm going to go ahead and do a compression test but I'll need to stop by the store to get one? Are there different kinds?
How would I go about doing a leak down test. I have a compressor and can reg different amounts of air, but I have no idea how this is done. I'll try and do a search!!
