the motor seems to not have spark. what could cause spark plugs to be burnt up after only a few days? would the fuel also be cut off on a manual trans if it was slammed into 4th gear going 80mph. i am thinking maybe the motor was flooded with fuel and was knocked out of time some how and maybe the spark plugs burnt up. I there any way to check for bent valve rods with out pulling the head apart….

what would cause a motor to loose its timing?

yes i meant pistons. what about over reving the motor would that cause time to be off?timing chain looks good and all teeth look good. so prob the tensioner?

yes a chain.. the head is brand new from the machine shop. I am trying to get this car running so i can sell. it is a manual and my bro in law didnt know how to drive it and it stopped running on him. I just changed the head from the old one due to th old valves being burnt has 190000 on it. any sugg????
