I've got the whole engine back together.. mechanics are done, now the electrical ..
I've turned the engine over to check out the valve-worx, and nothing grabs.. No pistons are hitting any valves, and I got the cam-work in the gear case to the book....

I have a spare ECM and wiring harness in the garage, so I plan to get the engine running while its on the floor.
And I cannot find it in the book on where it talks about this area:





Doing some reverse engineering, I took a stab at where its supposed to be placed..

Exhibit A - the plate things (control gates?)








Exhibit B - at what place do I position this thing? Within the yellow holes, or in the red adjustable area. notice there are degree tick marks, so those should have something at play.. going along with the yellow holes....

Ummm...what do you mean...the valves don't hit the pistons (or the other way around?)?

Did you do something that might make this happen?

i need to edit that part, my wording is confusing.. i was just saying that i have got the gearing set right, if i had it wrong the pistons and valves would be kicking..
now i need to set thing timing correctly

Did you do something that might make this happen?
huh?

Compared to the timing plate diagram and photo's in the service manual, your timing plate installation is 180 degrees out, also the timing plate studs are supposed to go in the slotted holes.

"Did you do something to make this happen?"

Umm, yea...like a different cam, different valves, milling the head excessivly, different pistons....?

Just Checked my static timing and you have the timing plate 180 out.
The timing marks should be towards the left as you look at them..

The slots are cut for the screw mounts( circled in yellow) so that you can rotate the plate to adjust static timing.
