93 b2200 backfiring when trying to start
 

i just had bought a 93 b2200 it was overheating and the gastank was leaking so i replaced the gas tank then i started it and it was smoking alot of white smoke the headgasket had blew. i bought the whole headgasket kit and sent out the head to get rebuilt and machined.put everything new back toghther including all gaskets and timingbelt waterpump and radiator.i tryed starting it and it just keeps turning and just backfiring and wont start. if any1 could help me that would be great

Sounds like a timing issue to me.

i checked the timing its at topdead center its lined up correct

#1 Piston at TDC, Both intake/exhaust fully closed, & distributor pointing to #1 cylinder spark plug wire? Are your wires going to the correct cylinders in the correct order?

What you are describing sounds like the spark is occurring when the intake valve is open (causing the backfire through the intake.)

wats the order for the spark plug wires

Not sure....do you have a service manual you are working from? A Chiltons or haynes manual should give enough info.

So let me get this straight....you replaced/installed everything above without a manual.

How do you have any idea if anything is torqued properly? In the correct sequence? Cylinder head bolts installation torque/sequenceis especially critical in order to get a proper seal.

Did you mark the distributor, crank and camshaft location when you pulled it apart? When you put everything back together, did you hand crank the motor to make sure there wasn't anything binding/interfering with engine rotation?

You need to go get a repair manual and do a little research about what you are working on. Do something wrong and you'll just waste money (improper timing can cause the piston to hit the valves in the head, destroying both pistons and valves, then you're just rebuilding all over again.) Without a manual you are in completely over your head and your engine won't last long if it's just slapped together.

I'm not trying to be harsh, just truthful

no my cuzin is an aprentice mechanic he got the torque specs and everything i actually got the motor to work it was the distributor timing it had to be on the #1 cylinder totaly forgot lol
