i was gonna say something but i figured you would find a better way. sorry for the

 

Alright. I think I've got it figured out. See, we've got a 16 valve engine, and the valves aren't even close to being the same. But it's easy enough to put them in the wrong holes... which means they don't seat right and their "lengths" become wrong for the lifters. So, I get to do another complete teardown, but I think I'll be running again by Saturday night
Thanks for the advice and interest folks.... except sweet-cheeks up there.

Mods, go ahead and close this.

 

try turning the key.......rofl wow im drunk ....

 

hey kris, if you need access to a repair manual, let me know, i dunno if you have one or not, maybe it could help with the valve placement

hope you get this worked out
