Re: New engine, won't run!

Well to all of you wondering, i think i finally solved the problem. I poured oil down the cylinders 2 weeks ago and let it sit for about a week and went back, cranked the motor over for a while and left the plugs out for a few hours, the nput them back in and the stupid thing acutally fired on all 8 for about 5 seconds. Didn't backfire or nothing. So i pulled the plugs and they were all covered in oil and some wd40 that had been sprayed down the cylinders about 3 months ago prior to installing the engine. In other words there is som much oil residue in the cylinders that its causing the plugs to foul and lose spark, get the cylinders cleaned out and i think i will be in good shape.
