Re: Overheated
you could also have air trapped in the system. did you run the heater when
you filled it? I'm just thinking that because your temp gauge didn't react.

Re: Overheated
Ouch.....
If the timing chain is off a tooth, it will act like that.
Did you verify the number of pins are right between the timing marks?
To do this, you put the chain and sprockets on with the sprocket timing
marks in a straight line with the shaft centers closest to each other.
Then you turn the engine until the cam timing mark comes up to the top,
stop and count the number of chain pins to the crank sprocket mark. On
the 4 banger you must have 20 pins to be correct.
Oh, smoke coming off the block after a timing job is pretty normal. it
is all the fluids and grease just burning off.
