Hey im in a really pissed off mood, heres my problem i had a gsr motor that came out of a previously swapped ej1 that was running beautifully, now i had that motor torn down and rebuilt with CTR pistons complete valvetrain and so on (built for high compression), now after connecting all the sensors and everything and wiring up the MSD SCI and blaster, i go to start the car for the first time and nothing it cranks and cranks nothing, now its throwing out white smoke out of the throttle body and leaving behind a black soot residue, also we mite have thought there could of been water int he gas so we went out bought iso alcohol to treat it and also poured in another 3-4 gallons of 93, the car has started twice both time if i get off the gas it stalls that was after cranking and cranking but nothing anymore it wont start i already went through a starter from cranking and cranking, i cant figure it out, could the timing be off? like possibly the guy who built the motor didnt do the timing right? ive got the #1 spark plug out and put a rod and rotated the motor till the rod was all the way up meaning the piston was up and check the rotor and everythign , it looks like its ok also on the Aem cam gears the 2 white dots on the sprokets are lined up in the middle when the piston is tdc, i cant figure it out? what could i do to find out the problem? does it sound like the timing is off? or i dont know ive been waiting for the past year to drive this car and finally after eveyrhting is done with it the motors wont even start could someone please help me out? thanks
