Wont crank after new cam, lifters and timing chain

[Ken226]

Unless that lifter didn't build up. I am positive they are in there right. I went with those because of issues with stock lifters. Friends of mine had stock lifter failure at 75k. Wish I had went with the mds delete now but the gas mileage was 21 mpg on the highway

Pull the valve covers, pull the fuel pump relay, then crank it and watch the rocker arms. Particularly, #4.

If the lifter isn't working right, you should be able to see it moving less than the others.



The oem lifters may not be as reliable as we would like, but they are by far the most reliable ones on the market. 75,000 miles may not be as much as we would like, but it's definitely more than 0 miles.

I have already done that with the valves and they are opening and closing

Did you do a compression test? You might have a bent valve if you have a bent pushrod.The other thing i wonder about is the alignment dowel on the cam,and whether it's still good.If the dowel goes south,the phazor usually spins on the cam,and then the cam and crank are no longer in time,which can lead to bent pushrods/valves etc. What did you torque the cam bolt to,and did you use a new cam bolt?

Compression great, already pulled timing cover to confirm timing and crank. Fires right up but noisy but it hasn't run but just enough to check temperature and throw an immediate code
Valves open and close fine. New pushrods. Still have the original misfire in #4 even though #8 cylinder had the bad lifter. My next test is continuity and voltage to the fuel injector

The bent pushrod was on cylinder 3
