Short version:
I have a no start after a lower end rebuild.
Engine turns over, has fire, has compression, has fuel pressure. It occasionally pops back through the throttle body when trying to start.
Longer version:
I have a Golen stroker circa 2007 currently (not)running in a 2000 XJ.
Engine was pulled running from this jeep with a minor lower end knock.
Upon inspection the timing cover tabs had broken off, allowing the rubber bumper thingy and the tabs themselves to make their way into the bearings.
Crank was turned .010 under to a total .020 under and re-installed with Clevite 77 bearings.
I decided to install a Hesco aluminum head i had left from another jeep project. The head was pulled from a running jeep engine.
I upgraded to 784 fuel injectors pulled from the junkyard. I have several sets of injectors from other jeeps/strokers/LT1s. I have tried a couple of different injectors, I don't believe that's the issue.
I installed a new aftermarket timing cover, Cloyes double roller timing set, and rubber timing bushing thingy. When this first started, I assumed that I had made a mistake on the timing. I have pulled the cover, and checked. I even took a stock timing set and installed it to ensure I wasn't misunderstanding the new set. No timing issues.
I previously changed the ignition to the Dodge Viper coil and plug wires. Upon advice from a friend, I put a coil rail on just to make sure we hadn't mixed plug wire. No change.
At this point i'm stumped. I've never had one go so well and end so wrong. I'll take any advice, or answer questions.
No question or suggestion too silly.
Thanks
