I have just spent the last year and a half trying to get it fixed. Was bought used with 100k miles engine had to be replaced at 420k. The rebuilt we bought lasted about 6 weeks then broke a piston. We sent it back to the place we got it as it was under warranty and for the past year they have been sending it back saying its fixed, and it was apparent that it was not. No power, valves tapped, etc. it sounded like it had when we sent it in so December rolls around still not fixed they send it back saying warrantys up were not touching it unless you pays us to fix it. So not wanting to give them anymore money I took it home and took it apart myself.I stripped it down to the head gasket and the built it back up. putting everything back where it was supposed to be using the Chilton manual to make sure i had everything correct. OK now to the real problem, I have it all back together everything remounted and in its place but i cant get it to start. When I took it apart it ran but now it wont I have been told by a few people that it maybe a sensor somewhere but i dont know if its true. Anybody had this problem and/or know what to do?? Anything posted will be really appreciated as its been sittin like that for a month now and really starting to bug me.
