Craig, You mentioned two things that caught my attention. One was "Total
Rebuild on Engine" and the otheer is "Timing Way OFF" If I were to guess
when they reassembled the timing chain they might of not lined the cam and
crank up correctly. This would most definitely cause you engine to run
absolutely awful, if at all. You might want to explore this option. As
for the no spark on #3, sorry no idea, that hasn't allready been mentioned.
HIH,
Patrick Bowen
