I spent days trying to figure out why my engine was doing this, and I finally double checked the rotor after pulling valve covers to make sure my cams weren't 180 out(they weren't). I had pulled the dizzy so many times (replaced green wire from hell) I had the rotor 180 out. She then fired right up!

P.S. it is so much easier to pull the tranny w/ the engine next time you take the engine out. Especially when you have that scissor jack set up (I am envious)

John, I may have a similar issue on timing, but I think I may be off a tooth on the dizzy. It runs, but only gets "good combustion" on three cylinders. See my new thread on the subject: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/911-engine-rebuilding-forum/381416-got-half-my-new-motor-running-please-feel-free-weigh-ideas.html#post3633488

Actually, now that I've done it, I think that removing the engine without the trans is a bit simpler and faster.

Beautiful engine Ed, beautiful. May I ask what type of air cleaner you're running?

Ed, I must commend you on the great looking engine. Hopefully by now you have the bugs out of it. Also, I really like your taste in wheels! A++++ Tony.

Thank you Tony. The bugs are out-did my first real track weekend in a year this past. I love the cams....better mid range torque, and great pull at top end to 7k. I do like the wheels, but when a certain someone in BC gets my new wheels done, these are history.
