redneckjerm Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I had a 99 Ch come in with an E7 engine that we knew nothing about, I could tell it needed head gaskets because it was leaking coolant. While i was tearing it down i noticed that two of the yokes were turned sideways and not hitting the valves, and ine of the push rods was bent! After replacing everything, setting the valves and doing my best to bleed the air out of the fuel it still wont start. I'm getting alot of smoke out of the exhaust but it wont even fire on either? I'm not sure what else to check for at this point because this electrical pump and all of the computers have me stumped!
