Cant kick it!!!

[southerndime333]

may i ask for your help ONCE again???

i took the head off my 79 SE, corrected my camshaft chunked it back on and now i cant kick it over very well.. like ive got to much compression... WHATS GOING ON!!

Check your cam timing (are you using a manual or reference..??), sounds awfully suspicious that it worked before & not now.
Does it turn over by hand with the plugs out..??
If its not turning over your valves might be hitting your pistons if timed incorrectly........

it kicks over without the plugs... and the valves arnt hitting the piston tops , i know thers oil in the cylinders but im sure that couldnt stop it..

 

[Q Tip]

cam chain tension too tight?

Hmmmmm cam tensioner all the way loose? Maybe adjust it to spec and check your cam timming again. Maybe it jumped a tooth? Check the valve clearance too. Maybe its too tight? Loosen them up some and try it gently kicking it through.
