Ok heres the lowdown.
LS Vtec
b18b1 with SIRII head
ITR cams, ITR Intake mani
Chipped computer
All motor buildup, eagle rods, wiseco pistons, clevite bearings.
Machine shop built bottom end I assembeled head/cams, and all else.
Car has new plugs, t belt, water pump, cap, rotor etc.
Start car, runs like shit. Pull plug wire 1, car dies. Start up pull 2, no changes, pull wire 3, no changes, pull wire 4 car dies. Cyclinders 3 and 2 are not firing. The plugs are brand new compared to 1 and 4 which look normal (car running). Cel is on for the misfire. Also, ign is retarded all the way because it detonates if I bring it to 16 deg. (12.5:1 CAM2 time).
Also there was a small knocking that came from the bottom end that got quieter and quieter as the car ran for the 1st 3 mins. Its almost gone.
Total time car was running 4 minutes. Did compression test, 180-185 ish across all four. Have fuel, plugs smell like fuel (the 2 cyc that are dead) -- Smelled like gas but not flooded....
Took out dizzy, feel slight resistance 1/2 though its revolution. Does not spin freely all the way around, slight resistance and something is rubbing inside...
Is 185 ok? The car was only running for a total of 4 mins and I doubt the rings are seated, it was blowing a little smoke... That knocking noise is what scares me the most though...... It was going away though......
Any ideas besides the dist? Removed valve cover, everything looks mint, cam timing is dead on................ help
