Ok so I own a s13 redtop completely rebuilt, car ran ok before build besides a cracked block. Fixed that issue and now its all back together went to. Fire it up and it just cranks and cranks, I have fuel pressure and spark but doesn't seem like the pistons are wet. Why aren't the injectors firing.. messed with cas and nothing. Sure enough after a couple tries I get an oil leak... Coming from the timing chain cover. Doesn't seem to be the main seal maybe the gasket(used Right Stuff Grey)? Whats your opinions, thanks in advance.

It's not atf its amsoil break in oil. And right stuff sealent pretty much best stuff u can get. But seems like I might have to redo the seal.

Bump, anybody know? Went to crank again and now the fuel pressure shot up to 100psi but injectors not putting it to pistons!? And as for main seal just replace gasket??

I wouldnt be surprised if you put too much gasket and you clogged the oil passage.

Cubantunr · 11-11-2012, 07:42 PM

Well I'm about to remove it right now and redo it again with right stuff. Also i put the suggested grease to prime oil pump maybe I put too much? What about injectors tho.
