So..... Checked the manifold and all gaskets. All good. Went through all the suggested checks made by everyone and the winner is....appears I am 180 degrees out. Went back to timing it again and once my timing pin hit the dimple I pulled the number one plug and the cylinder was dead bottom not TDC. Newly rebuilt engine so I assume the timing gear was installed incorrectly? So the big question now is what do I do? How do I time it 180 out or do I have to remove the timing gear cover and fix that?
