Just replaced pistons and cylinders in my 2001GTX 787 RFI in place without removing the engine.. I used SBTs' cylinder exchange with standard sized pistons. Initially It started right up but would not idle and just stall out. Then no start at all. It seemed to be a fairly straight forward job. The only problem I had was getting the fuel rail reattached with the bolts underneath. I didnt have my compression guage at the lake but I am wondering if its a fuel issue. Can I just test fuel delivery by unbolting the fuel rail and see if gas is spraying from each injector. I did verify spark and fuses.. There was fuel pressure when I disconnected the fuel like from the rail. Also could a sluggish battery prevent firing?
Next step- 1.Verify compression (I did verify ring gap and piston clearance prior to assembly and they were in spec)
2. new battery ( I have a new one I can activate and charge) 3. Remove fuel rail and see if it sprays.
Any advice on what to look for next?
Thanks in advance
