Ok got the rebuild done car runs good except that at around 4k rpms the engine wants to sputter some. Got a Cel code of P1390, which when researched resulted in me discovering it ment that the timing was off by about 1-2 teeth. now at low rpms the car runs great idling and from there to around 4k rpms. so before I tear that side of the motor apart and make a day of retiming this thing is there anything else it could be that was plural obvious its stupid? Is just really hate to tear attack down if I didnt have to. also in the event I do have to tear it apart what's the best puller to use to get the crankshaft pulley off? last time that's the only thing I had any trouble with. ended up breaking the old pulley and had to replace it. Can't afford a repeat . thanks again guys! You have been awesome with info on this rebuild. my first ever engine rebuild and between you guys here and my Haynes manual its been fairly easy.
