Ok, that sounds about like my timing, it's between intake and exhaust, but both are closed, checked the dowels on cam gear and they are good to go, gonna check cam and crank sensor next, thanks guys- smackfest04

Well, that is interesting, gonna have to pull the cam gear when I get home tonight and check the dowel, but if the dowel is there and not broken, I am completely at a loss as to why it would be this way- smackfest04

Ok, I'll take a look this evening, if I rock the engine back and forth, the intake and exhaust open and close, so it it at TDC exhaust stroke, most engines are set with no.1 on compression stroke, that's where I'm feeling that it is 180 off- smackfest04

Ok, may be a dumb question, but I found info saying 2 different things now, cylinder 1 is front cylinder left(driver side) correct? I am now seeing 2 different diagrams online, one saying it is on the front right for Vin code K 3.7 and other saying where I believe it is.- smackfest04

Yes, cam sensor is hooked up, along with all other sensors and connectors, I triple checked before tearing timing cover back off- smackfest04

Also, this is an interference engine, if that pin had sheared and the gear turned 180 degrees, there would have been evidence on yhe valves and pistons of contact, which there was none- smackfest04

J33pfan I understand if it sheared it would be out of time, I highly doubt it did though, I pulled it in the garage running, heads came off, went to shop and came back, all timing marks lined up as they came off. I am going to check it, but, if it did shear, that cam gear is sitting exactly 180...- smackfest04

I don't think they sheared, it ran when I pulled it in the garage, and if it did it's like the sprocket rotated 180 degrees perfectly.- smackfest04

Checked timing, timing have idler mark and v6 on cams at 12 o clock, crank mark is at 6 o clock, but when I watch the valves while rolling it over by hand, when all marks are in correct orientation, cylinder 1 is not on compression TDC, it is on exhaust TDC, does Chrysler set timing this way...- smackfest04

Fuel pressure while cranking is around 60psi, so that shouldn't be an issue- smackfest04

Both v6 at 12 on cams, dot on idler at 12, and didn't notice dot on crank gear when it was apart, but checked timing again with front cover and harmonic balancer on, and notch lined up with TDC mark on timing cover with both cams with v6 at 12. Gonna triple check all connections again when I get...- smackfest04

Hi all, new here to the forums, been doing a lot of research here for my jeep. Just finished the head gasket job, it's an 04 liberty with 3.7 v6. Here is my issue, ran OK when I pulled it in the garage for the job at hand, have it all done now and it will not start. It halfway tries to start...- smackfest04
