Addressing the 2.0 60’ time……
Did anyone happen to video the runs?
I’m asking if it can be confirmed it’s not spinning.
If it’s dead hooking, and the converter flashes anywhere close to 3500…….. a 2.0 is really bad for that basic combo of parts.
As for the timing……
Everyone has their own way of doing things, and that’s fine.
Personally, I’d have no problems running the timing locked out, as long as it’s not pinging and it doesn’t create any hot start problems.
Has anyone confirmed the timing mark is correct?
The 160 psi sounds about right to me.
Does the “3500” converter actually stall close to that?
Tell us about the heads…….
What are they and what’s been done to them?
If you can’t find anything fairly obvious, I guess making sure the cam is at least “close” to where it should be is a logical step.
I’ve seen and heard of people finding strange goings on under the timing cover(gears mismarked, etc).
Exactly what is the cam?(brand, specs, etc).
