I am ready to burn this FoMoCo POS.

Fyi, if you wouldve donated to the site and not stayed a brownie, you couldve downloaded the manual.

Ok, After tearing my down I just realized I did the wrong steps and now I am also off timing. Looking at your pictures the crank peg is definitely not sitting on the flat spot throwing your timing off. I also rotated the crank without the peg in and now I am off time. I now have the peg on the flat spot, but I am off time. So, now I have to figure out how to get it back to correct timing. Good luck with the tear down. Keep us posted.

No one told me too but thank you for the heads up,

Well i have bigger issues,




And no i have never hydrolocked the motor, and there are no marks on the piston dome so there was no contact there.... Also i have never bounced the motor of the rev limiter or any thing like that... How does a forged steel rod bend without damaging the bearing or the piston...

looks like i am doing a full build now. Pauter or Carillo rods? Now i need to read the build threads....

Thank you for the note about the peg i will look into it further.

I am really solidifying my distaste for this motor.
