help with cam synchronzer
ALright I messed something up. First off its a 2000 ford explorer with a 4.0 pushrod (VIN X).
I put the motor at top dead center, removed the top of the air plenum to gain access to the cam shaft sync. placed the sync tool on the new shaft and put it in place. when the sync was fully seated it was not at the 30 degrees from center line( same place I marked before on firewall before removal). I pulled the shaft back out a little bit and attempted to rotate to the correct position. the sync would not seat properly. I attempted to pull the entire shaft back out but was unable to because the oil shaft had stuck inside the shaft. I removed the intake manifold and removed the oil shaft from the sync. I then placed the sync back in place and everything lined up. Put the motor back together, now motor runs for a few seconds then spits and sputters before dying.
can anyone tell me what I screwed up and how I can fix it.
