Well it's back together I think I fixed the bending push rods Issues.
Still not running I found the New fuel pump was not putting out any fuel pressure so I put the old one back in.
The motor still not running but at least I can hear it pop once in a while If I retard the timing it pops more.
It sounds like it trying to start I need to go out a get a fuel pressure gauge and see how much pressue I getting to the injectors.
The cam is dead on the motor in TDC both valve are closed, Rotor is pointing where ity needs to be, getting compression, Have strong white spark.
I pulled #1 Injector it has fuel on the bottom of it but is there enogh pressure to make thing work.
With any luck I have running soon.

yeps...
confirn fuel press first. Then move to timing and individual injectors.

Don;t worry, it were not challenging then your yard guy would be building it for you. Because it is a challenge, you get the opportunity to get it ironed out and lookin good, for ALL to see....

You'll get it...trust me,,,, see it this way...its not running now, kinda at the bottom, so, the ONLY place is UP...basically you have no choice but to succeed and make this work,. Thats the wonderful advantage of being on bottom,,.,not running..etc...the only way that you CAN get away from that is to succeed, and move ahead.
Can't wait to hear it run !
