And that doesn't sound like a belt noise but more like a flexplate or something rubbing. Crank it over by hand and see if you can hear anything rubbing.

you are right, it was the flexplate, problem solved. And i know its misfiring on cylinder 7 and 6. Cant figure it out though, tested the plugs and they both have spark. Clearly fuel isnt a problem, im thinking compression. I may have over tightened the rocker and now the valve isnt closing? not sure
did you use the correct tork specs, if not goggle tork specs for your build or ask the chevy guys on here they will point you in the right direction. great build cant wait till you post more pics and youtube vids. here is my build viewtopic.php?f=24&t=32114 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3SO4lP0Tpg
of course! everything was torqued to the proper spec. i wonder.. could the timing be so far out that its causing misfires?two90west said:
well looks like I have to rebuild the engine again! I relized that spark, timing and fuel were all not my issue. Compression is my issue. Ive also adjusted the valves and the last option is piston rings. Seeing as i bought this as a used short block with "new piston rings" I didnt think to take them all out and look. That also explains why there is oil in the exhaust manifolds only in those 2 dead cylinders. No/Worn piston rings..
so now that I have the engine out, im looking into other options for the project. Does anyone have an opinion on what i should do? machine the old block, buy a crate shortblock, buy a crate engine all together? Any advice would help
I wish I would have done the same as well, but its not too late seeing as I need a new one. So do you have any good places for pick up a crate engine?CHRIS.O said:
