Diagnosis...any suggestions are great

[eclipsers-t]

Just installed the rebuilt motor back into the car and it is not running correctly. Here is the setup:

Wiseco 8.8, Eagle rods, stainless steel valves, bronze valve guides, Fidanza adjustable cam gears, Crower stage 2 turbo cams, Crower springs and retainers, EGR blockoff kit

I capped the pcv valve vacuum and the egr ports on the valve cover and intake. The valve cover is breathing through a oil catch can.

The problem:
The car sounds like it is misfiring and it is running extremely rich (smell of gasoline is strong and the spark plugs are black along with the black smoke from the exhaust). I have checked all the vacuum lines and all the sensors. The car does not want to run without giving it some gas to keep it running. It has a very rough idle. After running it just for a minute, I pulled the plugs and one of the cylinders had smoke coming from it.

Any suggestions on things to check or that might need to be corrected would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Andrew

What's your fuel setup?

Hahn stage II kit was originally purchased so I have the in line fuel pump and the fmu from Hahn...other than that it is stock

I'd make sure the cam gears are dialed to zero and re-install the PCV system. Then I'd check your timing.

Sometimes it'll run a little rough when everything is brand new, but it shouldn't be that bad.

Well, we had the cam gears as close to zero as we could get. They were not off by much. I will try things out once I get a chance, I have to work today. Thanks

do you have the turbo on yet? because if your running the upgraded fuel system, turbo cams, and low compression w/out the turbo im not too sure that it would run the greatest. it should at least idle though.

If you are blowing black smoke, you are burning oil. Thats about where my insight stops.

Which is wrong. . . Black smoke is fuel, BLUE is oil, white is coolant.
