I feel pretty dumb, but at least i'm smarter today than i was yesterday !! Thanks a million for all the help. I know it must be frustrating on your end also. I'll get it back together this weekend and add to this post once it starts. Tks again !!!!!
I've done enough timing belts to know when you said it "Sounded weird when cranking" to know the cam timing wasn't right. Glad you figured it out!
