fixin to stick my trans back in with the stock veter just to see if its that tb converter..and on my crank i can turn it bout an 1/8-1/4 in back and forth...should it have this much slack??

 

Depending on where in the rotation you are it should be ok. Rotate the engine 1/4 turn and see if it is still there. It is probable the slack in your timing chain that you are feeling.

You looked at the timing chain???? Might be shot.

 

plugs are out if that makes a diff

 

its going to be WAY easier to turn without plugs obviously

 

okay...get a jug of water. fill each cylinder with water. actually you should add some oil to the water and shake the jug real hard (there is a silly rumor going around that water alone in the cylinders is bad or something stupid like that). Okay now fill the cylinders with the oily water mix and then turn the motor a 1/4". As long as one of the cylinders squirts some water back out, you'll be fine, bolt that **** back together. If nothing happens, replace that timing chain.(and tighten your rod bolts!)

I mailed those pics to you btw, still haven't seen my controller!!!








disclaimer...don't try this unless your water to oil ratio is at least 50% oil.

 

What about that nasty little rumor that oil and water don't mix

 

ha ha ha

 

nah, screw the water/oil stuff, just use bleach, works a lot better and cleans your motor.




















lol jk

 

it will if you shake hard enough. <----shake shake shake.

Not that I really want to expose my gayness, but I can make them mix in the kitchen-EVO & water. LOL just plain gay right there.
