need help

well i just installed my zc head , i got it pnp and a valve job done .when i was all done with the installation i turned the car on and it rpm at about 2000 the idle was really high ,i got a code 9 and a code 15 then there was a cloud of white smoke coming out of the tail pipe. all the bolts were torqed the way they should be .i also forgot to mention the really laod noic that come out of the intake.can someone tell me what i did wrong :frown:

timing 180* off at distributor will cause backfire out of the intake.

Yeah, sounds like the timing is off.

yeah dude i had the same prob when i did my mini me.. loud pops out the intake and rough turn overs. it was the timing, hey keep us informed if that was the prob.

ok so i fifured out what the problem was.it had something to do with were the head ,the intake and the block meet,it seems that the head was shaved off about 1/8 so the intake was stiking out a bit there fore gaping the block and the intake not letting the head and the block close really tight therefore getting water all over the pistons and into the exhaust .im just glad it didnt get into the oil. so what i did was i grind the bottom of the intake .after i put evrything back for the second time the car was better .no more codes .timing is set .Now the only problem is that there seems to be a tapping sound coming from the head maybe the cams .the car runs great .any idea what that noice is?

Mine backfired out the intake when the plug wires on the cap were messed up.

I don't think you can put the distributer on 180 degrees off, they're keyed so they can only go on one way. If you were to put in on backwards you'd really have to force it on.

If it was shaved that much that sound is probably the valves hitting the pistons.

If it was shaved that much that sound is probably the valves hitting the pistons.
ok so if that is the problem ,do you think that if i use two head gaskets it will help? :banghead:

dude i never heard of such uh thing as 2 gaskets! i dunno what to tell u.. when u found out the problem.. did u reinstall a new gasket or what? i doubt ur head is soo shaved that its making head to block that one gasket cant resolve.. remember u didnt have this problem b4

ur right i guess something aroung the cam area just needs to be adjusted,i was told it was the rocker arm that needed to be adjusted.
