I'm at my wits end. After a winter of front suspension, steering and rear main seal replacement I finally went to start the engine to bleed the ps system and it won't start. When I initially started it it ran for 2 minutes and made all kinds of weird noises then died. I was unable to get it started again. I pulled the distributor to prime the oil pump (showed 40 on the gauge) then re-installed the distributor per markings made by a sharpie so that I knew where the distributor position was. Could I have screwed up the timing? Cold I be one tooth off on the distributor? If I go to start it now it turns over then a gas/air shoots out of the carb when I let go of the key.
Can anyone give me any ideas where to start troubleshooting?
When I installed the rear main I torqued the rear cap to spec. I hope I didn't ruin my engine. If I threw a rod or bearing would it still turn over smoothly.?
Thanks.
