you got lucky you didnt severely mess something up. hopefully you checked your timing while the covers were off. you should ALWAYS double check your work and whenever you do timing i always triple check it.

 

I did but when it slid in I thought I was gud don't check how far it went it, timing I double checcd again turned te crank til the marks lined up I was dead on with that, glad I got lucky though its always sumtin when it comes to working on my car.

 

Ok car started but there is fuel spewing from injector 1or 2 not sure why I took due rail out And when I pushed them Bac in they felt snug

 

I dont want to be a Dick here, but you should invest in a TQ wrench........ And make sure everything is Tq right. there $80 at lowes....

 

I put a little lube on the orings, just to make sure they didnt bind up while putting the injectors on.....

 

Yea problem solved, was a Ez fix lubed up orings, think I did do damage and thought i got off lucky took her out of the garage and bunch of tapping from valve cover left hand side, cam gears aligned timing is spot on so I guess I may have a bent valve it's bad when giving her gas so idk I'm done touching my car!!!

 

If u pulled the injectors u have to replace the injector seals and that needs a special tool to get them to seat properly

 

No more fuel leaks though !!! My valve cover is off n my timing marks r in perfect spots Wuts the metal tapping from the engine???

 

Gets worst if I touch throttle, top of head has no debris or anything
MIND YOU last startup didnt have this problem just the oil coming out the crank pulley and fuel leak now that's fixed I get this..... Damn cobalt!!!

 

Did you crank it over a few times without the coil packs on, e.i. get oil throughout the engine before any extended cranks or any ignition.

Pull the valve cover and take a quick look, or if you have a bore scope that makes it even easier

 

Yea I did that

 

Her very first actual start up was fine perfect even just had those to leaks so I fix those now the metal clanking

 

When u timed it did u hand crank it a couple revolutions just to make sure everything turned ok... The tapping could that be a bent valve?

 

Good Lord...........one nightmare after another. Take car to ZZP, write check, be done.

 

its why i tell people all the time if you have any doubt in your mind about something your doing either consult a professional or take it to a shop

 

Theres always bugs when doing things like this also **** happens... I dove head first into my build made some mistakes learned a lot had a few friends here locally to help out and a few guys on here helped as well. Theres always stress or atleast for me when tearing into my car but do ur research as questions.. Theres only one way to learn it and u just have to dive into sometimes. most guys here are helpful

 

That what I been doing but I just DNt want to listen I one guy so I get on here and ask questions been talking to a gud friend and Cmiller b4 I run out n wrote a check I would like to kno my car inside and out didnt think it would be this frustrating but I did learn alot bout my car just ready to drive it already, plus I DNt have leave to he's to Zzp from Texas I wante tub pistons in when I got bk from deployment to take it but worked out wrong, so thinking it's rod knock or broken tensioner..

Cmiller helped me throught my build lol... I accidently put the crank gear on backwards stupid metal shim and my timming was messed up no damage was done but took a lil while to figure it out

 

if it was a fubared tensioner your car wouldnt fire Or it would fire and run like complete garbage because there would be no tension on the chain.

chances are you bent a valve or something OR if it is rod knock something other then what you did caused it to happen. ecotecs rarely spin bearings and when they do its because of diluted oil or something down that road.

 

No bent valve was a bearing spun on cylinder two, got it replace and did sum jimmy rigging to get her running right y'all DNt even want to kno what I did but the end result is

SHE'S UP AND RUNNIN BREAKI IN PISTON RINGS NOW, smh so Pwerks longblock is next on mod list all smiles stay tuned for new thread wih pix and results on how the 5857 is doing on my Balt.

 

i hope you specked the crank before just throwing a rod bearing on andcalling it a day. usually when rod bearings go the cause damage and theres usually metal in the motor.

 

Yea I jimmy rigged actual used 220,400, n 800 grit sand paper used the bottom part of the connecting rod to gauge the movement, I say I did a good job it moves a Lil more free then the other rod bearings. NOT A permenant fix sumtin to get me to n from werk til I get motor replaced so no big hp numbers or pulls
Wasn't anything crazy far as metal shavings I never drove the car jus started it an inspected the noise but so far so gud
