Got mine from the help section of Advance Auto for less than 10.

I already tried advance and they couldn't pull anything up for my truck.

Well the local dealership said it will be $40 for both grommets, the pcv valve, the breather elbow and both hoses. Guess the stealership is the way to go since all the parts are in stock.

Do you guys think I should replace the pushrods since I have fresh heads? My old pushrods were in great shape and the ends weren't damaged. I also rolled them on a flat surface to see if I could find and bends but all were straght as an arrow.

If you don't need different length pushrods, and yours are in good shape, just clean 'em out good, and use 'em.

Well I think I should be fine then. All that was done to the heads was magnaflux, new guides, seals, 3 angle walve job, and he shimmed the springs to increase the spring pressure evenly for all springs.

Ok gents, I istalled the heads last night and have been doing everything by the book and triple checking everything I do. When I went to install the first set of pushrods and rockers I went to turn the engine over by hand a full revolution to do a second check on the torque setting on my rockers and it felt like the piston was hitting the valves. I immediately let off and backed it off then I slowly tried again and with some slight resistance it completed the intake and exhaust cycle. What would cause this? Air in the lifters maybe?

*Just read the service manual* I'm a dummy lol I gotta give the lifters at least 5 min to bleed down after rocker install. Sorry guys!

Well the engine is all together and guess what? It wont start, it's getting spark and fuel but it wont run. I'm completely stumped here. I didn't removed the dizzy when I did all this work so I know I couldn't have messed it up. I did however put a new cap and rotor on it, but that's it. I'm clueless on what it could be. Do you guys think when I advanced my cam timing 2° it threw the ignition and everything off? I pulled the spark plug on cylinder #1 and it was sparking right after the compression stroke as the piston was going down.

Plugs wet?

Also, make sure the injectors are pulsing, if they are, test fuel pressure. You can just stick your finger on an injector, and have someone crank the motor, should be able to feel the injector fire.
