I swapped a 89 junkyard engine into my 87 gxl. I used several different guides to complete swap but now it won't start. It sounds like it wants to but won't. It has spark and fuel, drained old fuel and put in new. maf was sticky but is free now. I havent put coolant in yet, and eliminated sub zero start system. compression is good in front rotor and only one side of rear rotor, but I was told this dosen't matter until after it runs. Any ideas would be helpful.

 

try atf down the plug holes, more then likly your engine is smoked though.

It is now back out and completely apart. Looks like corner seals are bad and acording to the manual the apex seals are in backwards. thanks it will be together soon for another try.

 

good luck.

 

make sure you use petrolium jelly on the componets when you put it back in to lube it

 

also if you are getting the seals off ebay be carefull i ordered some from there and they were nothin but big black orings
