The deal over my b230ft swapped 244 (all info of what i have done up to this point) 200 1989

Alright as i didn't provide enough info to fill everyone in here to help me i will do so now.


The car i got the motor from was my 92 940 Turbo that i bought for $375 awhile ago.Ironic that i bought the car for the motor and trans ehh?

So anyway i brought the 940 home threw on a .50 trim eBay turbo.Ran 15-20 psi thru it for some time.Then the car suffered a car fire from a faulty injector o ring.And that fire took out the main engine harness and anything in between.

So i thought well the 940 is pretty much screwed and i got alot of free time on my hands so what the hell?So i started on pulling the motor out of the 9 the same day as i got the engine hoist.Long story short had the swap done in a day.

I also swapped out the Aux shafts to run the block mount dizzy.And i also swapped the timing belt out as i knew i had to re time it all.But i didn't bother to think that me ripping off the covers and the back cover would matter.

So i pretty much screwed myself over basically.

Heres whats in the car currently..

1.N/a computers (till i get it running right then ill switch over)
2.N/a injectors (this set up is just to diagnose my problems less fuel = less oil changes till i fix the problem)
3.N/a AMM

This set up came off the car when i pulled the old motor which ran like a champ previous to this.

I have a timing gun as well.I have tired numerous timing set ups and it always runs the same.I am more then likely a tooth off still.

It just runs like crap below 3500 and past that it just comes to life and is extremely healthy.And theres a ton of blue smoke out of the exhaust which i think is caused by fuel getting into the crank case.This is the 4th time in 2 months that i have had to change the oil out from gas coming out of the breather port.

Now i was thinking that the reason why i might be off a tooth is i never too info effect that the motor is on a slant.So that would explain why my timing would be off.

So heres what im going to try tomorrow as it looks correct to me

Cam @ center of valve cover
Aux with rotor facing notch in the housing
Crank @ 10 o'clock

If anyone has a idea of where my timing should be id greatly apperciate it.Just go off the face of a clock and i should be golden.

Im pretty much over my nasty cold that i have had for a month now so im going full bore tomorrow at 8-am till dark to get this bastard done.

Thanks!

:-D
