here’s the run down I bought this truck a little over a month ago not running the guy said he had replaced distributor, spark plug wires, and spark plugs trying to fix it I bought it for 800$ and trailered it home once I got it home I started trying to diagnose the problems I started with spark it had spark, had fuel timing looked to be correct i then did a compression test and found that there was 0 compression in all 4 cylinders removed the head to find terrible scratch marks down the bore and rust so I decided it was time to get a new motor i started by disassembling the head and lapping the valves and replacing the valve stem seals and I got a bottom end from a 92 mighty max at my junkyard for 300 bucks with a 90 day warrany the motor looked great had crosshatching on the cylinder wall very miles carbon buildup on the head but I only took the bottom end any way so I swap the motor everything went smooth there pulled the old one out put the new one in and I went to start it and nothing just turned over, so I started diagnostics and there is spark and fuel and compression so it leaves timing I hear a cylinder combust every so often not with any pattern or anything like that but it combusting I just don’t know where to start I had the crank lined up at tdc with cylinder one up and I have the oil pump and balance shaft lined up I know I have the oil pump balance shaft in the correct orientation from working on my eclipse so I believe it’s in the cam timing when I have it at tdc and the cam gear lines up I can’t get the distributor to stay lined up with the little dimple and line on the end of the distributor I’m pretty stumped here I can’t wait to rip it down the road just have to figure this out any suggestions are appreciated
