When it was running in the garage, did it give you a check engine light?

she cranked over after i tighten the battery connections and lubed her up a few times with spark plugs and fuel connected. sounds rough but she started so a small victory for the day.
Any ideas to get her where she needs to be will be greatly appreciated. i do not have the exhaust hooked up just headers.

INstalling the timing belt has been a major pain. Removed the motor mount ran the belt through installed motor mount. that was easy with my ghetto motor lift
now the problem. I have the cams TDC or least very close to it
The exhaust cam sits funny. see pic below. the pistons are at TDC judging by crank mark. and its very tight. I am assuming i need to loosen the slack a little. That the other problem i cant get the bolt on the tensor to come lose. Any suggetions on how to do with motor still in car??????

My part finally came. 8 bucks for shipping and this is what showed up. I am in the wrong business
had to break out the big gun to get the pulley off.
Started installing the pistons this weekend. First and foremost the ring compressor with the allen wrench is horrible. the top ring slides out everytime so you have to stop and tighten down then push it in more. Make sure you rotate the crank so it is at its lowest point. makes life easy
now the shitty part. does anybody know a trick to getting the caps off after the initial torque to measure with plasigauge??????/ i was able to get the 1st off and now #4 wont budge

#1 assembled minus pistons rings
Checking the ring gap. for future reference pay attention to the way the rings slide out the package. They come out in order starting with the top ring then 2nd ring etc. I didn't notice this the first time and freaked. had to scour the internet for hints on which was which. the directions suck
So then i ran into a problem. started cylinder #2 and the 2nd ring was good. Put the top ring in and i cant fit .50mm feeler between so now i have to read up on grinding the ring a little
How ever not all is lost, i got my baffled oil pan today from JHP USA.
