    Is my Crank Pulley/Harmonic Balancer bad?

    I'm hoping that it isn't the crank since i just spent ALOT of money on getting the whole engine rebuilt, new crank etc, head etc etc. I'm hoping it's just the key or the pulley being old and worn... that could easily be the problem as well right? Also if it is the crank are they any...

    Is my Crank Pulley/Harmonic Balancer bad?

    ok well that clears it up. I'll just get a brand new factory crank pulley. I've heard lots of bad things about underdrive crank pulley's as they don't have a damper so it'll vibrate more? and cause engine problems? So why do ppl say they gain power and gas milage and the engine is alot...

They put a new one on and the engine ran super smooth with no knock... Until my headgasket went bad then after everything was done and...

    NO POWER AT ALL?!?!?!?!??

    I know how to properly operate a standard transmission. Is there anyway i could just easily hook some gauge up to insantly tell me that there's a leak somewhere? That sounds like a very likely cause. That 50mph in 5th on a slight incline is a bad description of the problem. Just accelerating...

    Just put a new gasket on and the car won't start

    Ok, so we got it started... found out it was out of time and so we put it in time, and it starts and it's running at 10* BTDC. The problem was that we got the #5 injector connector on the #6 injector and the #6 injector connector on the #5 injector. So it's running now and it doesn't overheat...

    Just put a new gasket on and the car won't start

    It doesn't backfire. Do the fuel injectors have to be in order? Do each fuel injector a designation Number? Like a Specific #1 fuel injector?
