sorry grant
i owe you a huge appology...
i installed my opti wrong :banghead:
there are three possible spots for the cam pin to go into. two of them are narrower as to avoid possible improper installation...somehow, i got the pin into one of them without ******* anything up...i dont get it. but i did it.
so sorry for givin you so much **** grant, i had no idea it was possible. i know that on 92-94 its impossible...but i guess on 95-97 it is.

well right now my balancer pulley, water pump, AIR pump and MAF and IAT arent installed...im trying to test it before i put it all back together...i have my coil and ignition module bolted to the head with the grounds installed...so it should start...and no one is around to check spark for me...its cranking like normal, battery sounding a little weak, 12 volts on the gauge tho...still normal...just wont turn over...hmm...

**** me. k i installed it wrong again. actually to be politically correct, both times it simply wasnt installed all the way so the pin slipped...but thats still wrong.
anyway now it runs but my valves are horribly adjusted. last time i trust my friends to help. all i need is water pump gaskets to get that back on and a serp belt so i dont kill my battery...again...

i found what you were talking about matt, put #1 at TDC then you adjust one set of valves...then rotate crank 360* then adjust another set. worked good...i think...i know for sure the timing chain is installed correctly...and now i know the opti is too, it actually popped in all the way, so im confident all is physically set, so im assuming i killed my opti or coil or something...my fuel pump runs, and it rotates nice, sounds normal...just wont kick on.

all this respect and no rep points? and matt, all you get is us un-hating you. we still dont like you.
oh and its running like a charm now. i had the PCM (battery) unplugged for a couple hours, went out and it started right up. i slapped it all back together and i only had a small coolant leak from one of the hoses. its all good now
