So long story short I had to replace my n108 valve. Stripped the bolts trying to do it without removing the IP so I had to remove the IP which obviously involves the timing. Made some paint marks so the IP went back in the same orientation, set my timing, and nothing.
Whoops, forgot the lock pin when I put the belt back on so IP was off 2 teeth.
Redo it all again. Lock pin, cam shaft bar, timing mark on flywheel are lined up. Put belt back on. Rotate engine a few times. Cam bar and lock pin line up, but fly wheel is slightly off.
Screw it. Put it back together, try to start, white smoke out the exhaust but no start.
Is the flywheel mark being off the problem? It was all lined up before and after putting the belt back on and tensioning it. Just not after manually rotating the engine. Or am I missing something else? The IP is in the exact same position it was in prior to taking anything apart. I cracked the fuel lines and cranked it to get the air out of the lines and there's no bubbles in my clear fuel line. Unless there's air in the IP? I'm at a loss, I'm about ready to burn this car to the ground.
