Just finish top swap and my car won't start it cranks but then locks. Can anyone help?

You should really just add on to your other threads, instead of making tons of new ones.
But anyway, do you have spark and fuel? All connectors plugged in?
What do you mean locks?
12-21-2012
Like its popping then just quits and I checked spark it sounds like it wants to fire but then drops. And all the dash lights blink
12-21-2012
Sounds like you dont have fuel.
12-21-2012
So what should I do
12-22-2012
Check for fuel at the rail? Does the fuel pump even run?
Double check all spark wire routing, you might have it wrong.
I mean you did just do a top swap, so you should have some of this down.
12-22-2012
Haha it was spark guys thanks though
12-22-2012
derp
12-22-2012
Tell me about it, that's what happens when you let your friend hook them up

My supercharger sounds like rocks are tumbling around at idle. I put a new coupler on it so idk what to do.
12-22-2012
Just deal with it?
Buy another on from ZZP or ebay?
12-22-2012
What about bearings or anything?
12-22-2012
So there's no way to fix it? Will it hurt anything to drive it until u get one? That's my main concern.
12-22-2012
if the coupler is good, them its probably the bearings gone bad.
it maybe cheaper to just get a used blower and slap it on.
12-22-2012
Yea I put a new coupler on. I'll buy a used one. But it ok to drive for a little if I take it easy I mean I still have the 500 mile break in.
12-22-2012
500 mile break in? theres no break in for a top swap.
back in the day you had to break in the cam and lifters, being we use roller lifters you dont need to break them in at all.
that goes if you have a whole new engine, bottom end to top, its go or blow, some say driving it like you stole it right out of the box sets the rings better as well.
no amount of babying the car will save it is something is not right.
in your case you may just want to pull the belt off the sc, if the rotors are touching it could send metal chips into he engine.
12-22-2012
Ok ill have to pull it off
12-22-2012
Is there a way to check for bad bearing?
12-22-2012
if the coulper is tight feeling still, then you would need to take it off and take it apart to inspect it.
if the sound is gone with the sc belt off you know its related.
12-22-2012
Ok thanks man
