timing is right around 12 the cars idles fine but every so often and it isnt in any sort of rythm i dont think there is a bump bump or clunk sound this all occurs while sitting idling i have yet to drive it i can hear it and when im sitting in the car i can feel is jolt the shifter.....

 

 

i would bring it to you rob but i dont think i want to drive it that far

if the piston is up in the bore and it won't start pointed at number one turn the rotor 180 and put it back in that should be close enough to run

 

got it to run finding tdc but still makes some intermitten poping sound runs like crap cant drive it timing was at like 30 with the spout out moving the distributor did hardly anything im tired of messing with it its sitting in the drive way and im typing up a for sale ad as we speak

Maybe I'm mis-reading, but are you setting your base timing (~12deg) with the SPOUT connector out? You should be.

 

I assume you know that, but I read it as you're setting it to 12deg with the connector in and it's 30ish with it out, which means your base timing advance is actually 30, not 12.

Stimmel NOOO! What are you doing tomorrow?

 

lighting my car on fire and claiming it under insurance

 

 

i took the intake back off as well as the valve cover re torqued the head bolts in the proper sequence as well as the rocker arms fired it up and still makes that intermitten knocking any ideas as to what that could be?

you worn out bottom end?

 

it was fine before i took the head off not fine but not making any sounds the only reason i took the car apart was to put stock valve covers back on it if i would of left it alone it would be fine

 

 

i did head gasket with new everyhting followed the ford book did everyhting properly i even heat cycled it and re torqued the head and rockers still nothing i have done the tdc trick numerous times still nothing

 

the sounds seems to go away with rpm im about to go take it around the block but prob wont leave the driveway

 

what causes an intermitten knock in no sort or rythm or pattern what so ever

just drove it for about 5 minutes the driveability is alot better i dunno how far i want to drive it tho

 

it isnt backfiring as bad allthought it did do it once when i put the clutch in switching gears and also broke up pretty bad around 3500rpm in neutral

 

i sat in the driveway brought the rpms up to around 1800 help it constant for about a solid 45 seconds never heard the sounds nor did the car skip a beat

 

any ideas or should i keep messing with the timing and just hope im off a tooth?
