    Replaced Head Gasket/Won't start

    And by the way incase anyone else happens to see this post looking for info. My mistake was that the #2 terminal on the inside actually comes all the way across and lines up with #1 port, and the number 1 runs down clockwise of the port. So #2 was firing instead of #1. Rookie mistake!

    Will, pull distributer and retry. As far as rocker arms us it 22lbs on the rocker arm bolts? I've read both 22lbs then most say find zero on push rods, then 1 full turn. Was thinking the 22 was for the rocker arm studs not for the nut on top?

    1999 tahoe 5.7 vortex engine, so I did head gasket/manifold gasket replacement. On reassemble I brought #1 to tdc, installed distributor, reassembled everything else.
