I get it. I got it! Front comes off the motor tomorrow. Line up the dots, spin the cam, check the valves, check the distributor position. Thanks to everyone who responded. I got it. Have a great 4th . OUT!

So whats you're opinion on what the possible issue is and what the remedy could be. I realize its a slant six and not a rocket to the moon. Just looking for some help on how to remedy a problem with an engine already put together.?.? Monkey motion isn't really any help at all. I'm not a...
