Problem for Toyota 1986 Pickup 4WD

1986 toyota pickup won't turn over

By mapinc on Nov 22, 2008

" "

Hi,
I had white smoke coming out of my pipe and antifreeze was disappearing fast. I researched and determined it was a head gasket seal. So I took the head off and replaced the gasket. I thought I marked everything so that I could put things back where they came from. However with everything now together, I turn the key and it makes a noise like it will start, but will not turn over and start. I check for the spark, battery, pretty new starter so that should be OK. I adjusted the timing chain according to the manual. I think I have all the hoses where they belong per Chilton's manual. What else should I check? Would trying to jump start it rule out some possible problems?

Thanks,

Mike

- Wow, thanks so much for the response and ideas. I can turn it over by hand. I did check to make sure that the #1 cylinder was at TDC and the rotor pointing to the #1 plug wire. I also had the starter checked and that works fine.

Any other ideas?

THanks,

Mike

- Hi. The engine tries to turn over (I had the cover off and I could see it trying to turn. Makes the noise like it wants to completely start up but won't. I put the cover back on and the same thing happens.

Thanks,

Mike

Will it turn over by hand, as in socket wrench on front pulley, and try to slowly turn it over. Also check that #1 cylinder on compression stroke, and TDC, your rotor under distributor cap is pointing at the plug wire tab under cap for #1 cylinder.

- When you say makes a sound like it will start, but will not turn over & start, do you mean the engine is not turning over to start, or it is turning over, but will not start.Sorry I think I'm getting a little confused.
