Thanks for the replies. No cracks,smoke the oil is clean as is the coolant. I'm using the balancer that came with the engine(old). I will check tdc.The timing cover & balancer were original
when i bought it.Engine clearances are ok,turns nicely. Looking forward the timing marks would be at 2 o'clock.
I am questioning this bypas system,i've seen this however this is not what i have. I do have pics.The engine is on a test stand
fast idle & no load.Could you explain this bypas system.I know this pump (bypas) is avaiable from Napa,i've seen pics of it.
Thanks Bruce
